Many of the devs working with Windows have been dying lately because of the "fast completion" feature provided by the MacOs TextMate editor, largely demonstrated in screencasts all over the web, and unfortunately UltraEdit didn't provide such a tool until today.
The power of the macros allow for exactly the same feature.
Here is what it does:
if+TAB
else+TAB
foreach+TAB
echo+TAB
This is really useful for writing PHP templates with UltraEdit. Of course, it preserves the original function of the TAB key and indentation. When using the Macro, you will also notice that the cursor is placed exactly where you need it.
