I've been watching some of the WWDC 2009 videos which include some video demos in Xcode. The presenters are using some sort of macro or script bound to a keyboard shortcut to automatically insert some pre-prepared code at the current caret location. Each time they press the key, the next prepared snippet is inserted.

Does anybody know how this is done?

I believe the presenters use DemoAssistant which is Apple sample code.

It's a service that copies lines from a code file a line at a time.

Thanks, this seems ideal. It only does one line at a time, but I can modify that to insert multiple lines delimited by some string.
