What's RAD in RAD:
- Surround templates - you can right-click a selected a block of code and choose Surround to view a list of possible templates with which to surround your code.
- Live templates editing - when you add a code template to your source code, you can TAB through fields and insert points to quickly populate the template with logic.
- Block completion - block closures are automatically added as needed when you edit code. Example: you write "begin" + hit "Enter", result: Delphi adds "end".
- Method navigation - yuo can quickly navigate between methods in your source code using a series of hotkeys.
- Change Bars - when you make changes to your code the left margin of the Code Editor will display a yellow change bar to indicate that changes have been made after the last Save operation.
- My favorite: auto-variable declaration. Now you can declare variables in the middle of your code, and the IDE will take care of moving the variable to the proper place. Just type "var" and hit TAB.
