Do any of the IDE replacements knocking about feature short-cut code entry?

Something like:

fe [followed by special key sequence like Ctrl+SPACE]


which produces
Function ()
  'code
End Function



I suffer from RSI after some time programming.
Anything which reduces the amount of keyboard bashing is welcome.

Ideally, I would like to be able to define a shortcut and the code which should spit out into the ide (nicely formatted with the cursor placed correctly ready for action too) ...

Shortcut: fn
_____________________
For Local ?=? To ?
	'code
Next


Shortcut: fns
_____________________
For Local ?=? To ? Step ?
	'code
Next


Shortcut: wnk
_____________________
While Not KeyHit(KEY_?)
	'code
Wend


Shortcut: rf
_____________________
Repeat
	'code
Forever


Shortcut: ru
_____________________
Repeat
	'code
Until ?=?


Shortcut: rf
_____________________
Repeat
	'code
Forever


Shortcut: ie
_____________________
If ?=?
	'code
EndIf



Shortcut: iee
_____________________
If ?=?
	'code
Else
	'code
EndIf

Not asking much mind (!)
