a lot of code completion stuff allows you to scroll in the window and select something with the arrows and enter-key

about shortcuts, besides that mys pants are short-cut, I also use a freeware called "AutoHotkey". As it name implies, I can open my browser and point to devnetwork.net using ALT+D.
The same trick goes for my editors.

Examples? What would you recommend?

I can't recommend any free IDE's with code completion.. but if you have the cash.. Delphi 7+, Visual Studio 6+... haven't really used any of the php centric ones...

eh, I'll just stick to dreamweaver, it just bugs me whenever I have to switch from the keyboard over to the mouse because my desk has a pullout keyboard drawer, not big enough to hold the mouse, so when the drawer is pulled out it's like 3 feet from the mouse. (I'm lazy yeah).

If I had the money I'd go for the zend platform though.

No, just a git. :twisted:
With proper formatting, anyone can harness the power of ternary conditionals! :evil:
I have about 10 or 15 macros I wrote into UltraEdit all accessible by shortcuts. It’s pretty cool for code snippets that you typically write on a regular basis:
I noticed your code snippets where for print_r's. Why not use var_dump in conjunction with XDebug (really, really nice formatting, in my opinion)? Ah well, you might not have that (especially if you have Zend Optimizer) so power to you.

I personally like my backup shortcut.. Partly seen from phpBB and PHPmyAdmin, it backsup my entire database... Other then that i would have to say any shortcut that makes my life a bit easier..

dreamline, you reminded me this idea I had a long time ago, my script would backup the database automatically every day, and if it detected an error it would restore the backups all automatically, I was also going to backup the filesystem and run a checksum every 5 minutes or something and restore from backup if it changed. I doubt I'm going to do this any time soon though.
