copy and paste board(to make writing code faster+easier)

Has anyone ever used the copy and paste board on microsoft word? basically, every cut and copy you make is stored on a table for future use. Something like that on the arduino compiler would be nice, as well as having the option to assign hotkeys for pasting certain code. Since a lot of code is usually repeated, it would make writing a program a lot faster and easier.

It is? Like what?

If you're repeating code, that means you need to refactor the code into functions (and/or a function library, or a class, etc).

Hi
I like long variable names. So I used the copy and past board (and before that a non Microsoft tool that does the same) to hold variable names in the past. As I code mostly in eclipse now the auto complete makes this functionality unnecessary.
If you are using a text editor to write code it is handy.
As other people stated just using it for copying code may not be a smart move. However many IDE's today have the concept of inserting sniplets (small pieces of code that are used often). In arduino I could see the setup and loop methods there. And the serial.begin();
My view on this: It can be handy but it should be used "smart"
Best regards
