⚡ Instant Code Generation with Snippets

Stop typing repetitive code. Code Snippets generate whole blocks instantly. Type a shortcut, press Tab, and the code appears.

⌨️ Essential Snippet Shortcuts

C# Snippets:
ctor     → Constructor
prop     → Auto-implemented property
propfull → Full property with backing field
propdp   → Dependency property
for      → For loop
foreach  → Foreach loop
while    → While loop
try      → Try-catch block
if       → If statement
switch   → Switch statement

HTML Snippets:
html     → HTML5 template
script   → Script tag with type
style    → Style tag
link     → Link tag for CSS
img      → Image tag with src
a        → Anchor tag with href

CSS Snippets:
bgc      → Background color
c        → Color
m        → Margin
p        → Padding
pos      → Position
df       → Display: flex
jc       → Justify-content
ai       → Align-items

🎯 Creating Custom Snippets
