macros

Does anyone have any useful macros to share?

I haven't created it yet, but one might be useful is combining line comment
and line duplication
You have the code :

...
myObject.doSomething("blah-blah"); |
..

Then launch your macro, and you'd have

...
// myObject.doSomething("blah-blah");
myObject.doSomething("blah-blah"); |
...

Sometimes, I just want to test something, but I want to keep the original
line.
For me, at least, it's useful :)

Yes, I agree. That is quite useful.

I can't seem to find a way to assign a key mapping to start/stop recording a
macro. Also I'd like to be able to find a way to have a keystroke to play
back the last (temporary/unnamed) macro. Anyone found out how to do this? I
think maybe I'm just blind! :)

Ahh, finally, macros :)

Now that I have gotten used to IntelliJ without them, I have to scratch

some

dead gray brain cells to remember what I used to do with them (I remember
vaguely that they were very useful).

One problem I encountered was that the macro engine doesn't seem to have
automatic pressing of buttons in dialogs, so I have to press Enter twice
during this very simple macro.

Yes, you should be able to do everything in a macro including pressing
buttons in dialogs. A macro should require no interactive user input during
execution.
