Keyboard macro in SAS Studio

Weihong — Sat, 11 May 2019 23:52:22 GMT

Keyboard macro is a nice feature available in SAS Grid 9.3 (Tools - Keyboard Macros). Our company recently migrated to SAS VIYA and I am just wondering if this feature still exists in SAS Studio?

I don't think there is, but snippets are pretty powerful.

Here's the SAS Studio documentation, specifically the customization section.

Thank you for your reply Reeza!

I want to include the comment automatically. In SAS Grid, as long as I type 'wh', it will show /*WH 20190511*/. How to make Snippet work to have the dynamic date?
