Komodo Edit Macros
Well, as soon as I had settled upon gvim as my new editor de riguer, a friend at work pointed me to Komodo Edit. Now this is what I was looking for. What a weight off my mind.
Never been a big macro-head, but there's a couple things I wanted to do that you can't do through the preferences menu alone. So I figured out a couple tricks and wrote the following macros. (What is cool is that you can use either javascript or python for the macros. Sweet!)
add html comment
this will wrap any select text like so:
The same principle can be applied to many situations:
echo php inline
Add a key-binding through the properties menu and you're a rockstar.

var noSelTextPos = currentPos + newText.length - addRight.length;
var newPos = ( selText != '' ) ? selTextPos : noSelTextPos;
if (komodo.view.scintilla) { komodo.view.scintilla.focus(); }
//if (komodo.view) { komodo.view.setFocus() };
komodo.view.selection = newText;

It will do a lot of the same things you are doing in your code, but it is already built into Komodo.
