Killer IDE macro

I found there is only one(for now) macro that i use in the VS .NET IDE -

the one that puts two curly braces in the following lines and puts the cursor in between them. this HAS to be a killer macro. i assigned it the "CTRL+SHIFT+[" keys, and my productyvity went up 10 times... here the simpler the pie code:

-----------------------------------------

Sub NewBraces()

DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.NewLine()

DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = "{"

DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.NewLine()

DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = "}"

DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.LineUp()

DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.NewLine()

DTE.ActiveDocument.Save()

End Sub

-----------------------------------------

is it possible that there are people who have NOT created this macro on their own? I think the next one will be one that adds the lines:

catch(Exception e)

{

}

to the code.
