Thank you for this. I am glad but not very surprised to see Oxygen already offers this... it usually has everything that would be commonly useful!

The only thing I see lacking here is discoverability. Next time I go to use this pattern, if it's not soon, I'm not sure how I will remember to use "ct", as I do not remember hearing "copy template" or "recursive copy template" as a term for the pattern.
Is it a well-known term? I've only heard of it as the "identity transformation". E.g. at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#copying it is referred to that way; and a yahoo search for xslt "identity transform" gives me about 100x as many results as for xslt "recursive copy template". (xslt "copy template" gives about 20x, but with many false positives.)

Would it be reasonable to add "id" as a name for this code template?

Thanks,
Lars

Dear Lars,

There is already a code template that inserts the recursive copy template. Its name is "ct" so if you type

ct
then CTRL+Enter
you should get

<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Best Regards,
George
