Starting with Delphi 2006, the base product has a VERY cool feature previously only available in 3rd-party add-on products such as Code Rush and Castalia. The feature is Live Templates and allows the user to write macros with customized paramters. It is a great productivity enhancement and is much more powerful than many people realize.

With Live Templates you can:

• fix typos automatically;
• insert large code snippets with a couple of keystrokes;
• remind yourself of obtuse parameter options;
• greatly speed up coding.
