Here’s a neat little script (bound to Alt-e) which requests an environment name from the user. If the entered string has e.g. the form "itemize3" it creates

\begin{itemize}
\item
\item 
\item 
end{itemize} 

and puts the cursor directly after the first \item.

If the entered string includes no number at the end (e.g. „itemize“), just the environment is created.

!e::
InputBox, UserEnv, Environment, Please enter an environment!, , 240, 120
If ErrorLevel
	return
Else 
if( RegExMatch(UserEnv, "(.*?)(\d+)$", splitted) ) {
	Send \begin{{}%splitted1%{}}{Enter}
		Loop %splitted2% {
			Send \item {Enter}
		}
	Send \end{{}%splitted1%{}}{Up}
	count2 := splitted2 - 1 
	Loop %count2% {
		Send {Up}
	}			
} 
Else 
	Send \begin{{}%UserEnv%{}}{Enter 2}\end{{}%UserEnv%{}}{Up}
return

Thx to MCL for providing help with the regexp!
