Because everything is connected to everything else,
it's dificult to not be accused of drifting off-topic.

I'm a fanatic at resisting to do 'piano playing'.
ETH-oberon can run without a keyboard.

Here's just a small part of ETH-oberon's customisable:
EditKeys.Definitions [which I've line-wrapped here]
---------------
(hotkey is #160 (* 0A0X *))
  !m  ("MODULE " write "!ModlName" write ";" 
write cr "END " write "!ModlName" write "." write cr)
  !p  ("PROCEDURE " write "!ProcName" write ";" 
write cr "BEGIN" write cr ` "END " write 
"!ProcName" write ";" write cr)
 ...etc..
  e  ("To: .... at ....." write cr "Cc: crglur at gmail.com" 
write cr "Date: Day Month 2007" write cr "
From: Chris Glur <easlab at absamail.co.za>" 
write cr "Subject: " write caret cr cr " > see 
System.Time TextMail.Cite  Edit.Open ^" 
write cr "oberon at lists.inf.ethz.ch" write cr ..etc.
-----------------
which for eg. "e" <insert> displays my template 
for emailing, with the present date.  So far that's the
only key-macro that I regularly use.

Apparently the 1st 2 key-macros liste above: !m & !p 
will give you ...why do I talk, let me just do it !
------
MODULE !ModlName;
END !ModlName.
------
  PROCEDURE !ProcName;
BEGIN

  	END !ProcName;
--------

Yes the indents are not correct.
I experimented with nesting of all the constructs
and found indentation problems .
=============

BTW. when I recently tried emacs under linux,
I couldn't find how/where to enter/edit the elisp
code.

Can you advise how ?
