Create a module that does it for you:
module ccube (size) cube (size, center=true);
Put it with the other "stuff I always use" in an include.
(I have stuff in there like dup2() : Duplicates an object by rotating
it around the origin, along with dup3(), dup4() and dupn(n) ).

I’ve been thinking of a “stuff I always use” library for some time and now I’ve started one.
ccube(x,y,z) is now centred and without square brackets too. It had bothered me that “cube” required extra square brackets.
ccylinder(h,r) now doesn’t need r= , h= , just the numbers.
In “ccone”, the height now comes last, as in “cylinder”, to avoid confusion.
All that is missing now is a standard “blank.scad” with some “includes” at the top.
module ccube(x, y, z)
{
cube([x, y, z], center=true);
}
module ccyldr(r, h)
{
cylinder(r=r, h=h, center=true);
}
module ccone(r1, r2, h)
{
cylinder(r1=r1, r2=r2, h, center=true);
}
But what happens to the “stuff I always use” library, when a newer version of OpenSCAD is installed?
