Assign code snippet to keyboard shortcut in Visual Studio
code-snippets, visual-studio
Solution
Type a `<` and then type your snippet shorcut(your XML file Name) and then press `tab`.
you can get more info from this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/xml-tools/how-to-use-xml-snippets?view=vs-2017
for example i have a code snippet which i've set xml file name and its shortcut to `flog`
when i want to use it directly to my code i do like this:
`<flog` and press `tab` it Works.
Problem
Anyone knows how to assign key shortcut to specific code snippet? I would like to assign for instance CTRL+K,CTRL+J to a `#region` snippet. Therefore by able to: - select text, - press CTRL+K,CTRL+J => - selected text would be surrounded with `#region` .. `#endregion`. I hate when I have to take my hands out of keyboard for more time than necessary:). EDIT: For more understanding, I am asking how to bind key shortcut directly to SPECIFIC snippet. Opening snippet selector wont work for me. If I have to search through all my snippets to get to a the #region one, its worse then writting all its code by myself. Thx for any suggestions.
