As opposed to my slide, where I didn’t show anything about macros, I do use macros. I just honestly forgot about it, even though it was my very first blog entry here on our blog.

The story behind simply is that I used this slide (to the right) three days ago at the Ajax in Action 2008 in my presentation “Efficient JavaScript Development” and I said I didn’t use any macros. But sitting on the train yesterday coming back home and searching for hacking a new awesome code-completion feature into Komodo, I realized that I do use at least one macro.

It was a simple macro for duplicating the currently selected piece of code. But since using it never made me think about it being a macro, and writing it was a piece of cake, and it just simply works – I never thought back and not even remembered that it was a macro. So, sorry for having that left out in my presentation, but I guess the empty slide also had it’s effect, right?
