Visual Studio like code snippets in Rider

Question

Does anyone know if the JetBrains Rider IDE supports kind of "code snippets"? I usually have a snippet in Visual Studio for creating NUnit test cases, like:

[Test]
[Description("Some description")]
[MaxTime(1000)]
public void Test()
{
#region Arrange
#endregion

#region Assert
#endregion

#region Act
#endregion
}

Yes, there is.

In Rider, it is called Live Templates.

• Open menu File > Settings.
• In the Settings window, expand Editor > Live Templates.
• Then select the language you want. Let's say C#.
• The settings window shows the list of shortcuts.
• Click the New Template icon on the right.
• In the Shortcut field, define the keyword you want to use to trigger it.
• You can select any other shortcut to have an example.
• Save your changes.
• Go to the editor and type the "shortcut".
• Rider will create the code for you.

Keep in mind that Live Templates use a different syntax from Visual Studio Code Snippets, so you can check this page - Predefined Live Templates for C# - for further reference.

Would it be possible for you to update this? Most of the terms from step 3 are different today. ie. Abbreviation now says shortcut. Also; There is no Expand With. In step 10 you mention a key - What is this key you refer to? – Ahmad
