How to use code templates to enter keywords without mistakes ?

After my "FlashBuilder tips and tricks" session at 360Flex where I erred while entering "implements" keyword I thought through it and came up with this. Add the following code template with any name it suits you. I used "kw".

${keyword:values(public, protected, private, function, implements, var, try, catch, class, interface, package)} ${cursor}

Now where ever I need to enter a keyword I just need to type "kw" and hit Ctrl+Space to get a popup showing all the keywords. (Note: Modify the list of keywords to suit your need)
