Re: Inserting standard blocks of text.

[kgold]

(define-key esc-map "K" 'insert-kgold-header)

(defun insert-kgold-header ()
  "Insert header at the current cursor position in the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (insert 
   "Your standard header ..."
   )
  (insert "\n")
  )

If it's a function header, you then most likely want to have
another function which cut and pastes the function name and parameters into
your header.

Bonus: You can insert a file using:

        C-x i runs the command insert-file

so you don't have to do your "open, copy, switch, paste" anyway.
