Surround Template Shortcuts for Resharper

Surround Template Shortcuts for ReSharper

This plugin for ReSharper creates keyboard shortcuts to activate Surround Templates.

Surround Templates in ReSharper can be assigned a "mnemonic" number, which is normally only used to show in the surround-with dropdown (Ctrl+E, U). This plugin adds additional keyboard shortcuts that activate Surround Templates on the current text selection.

The shortcut defaults are Ctrl+0 to Ctrl+9 (corresponding to mnemonic numbers 0 to 9) and these can be changed from the Visual Studio keyboard options (search for SurroundTemplateShortcuts).

Features

• Activate Surround Template for current text selection

• Activate Surround Template on language element at cursor

  Activate with the cursor on a reference, method use or object initializer (new ...) and the whole language element will be surrounded.

• Shortcut to "Move brace to end of selection" (Ctrl+Alt+0)

  Moves the first brace of the text selection to the end. Intended to make it easier to move auto-inserted braces down.

Instructions

• Due to ReSharper limitations, the keyboard bindings must be activated (one-time) from the button in the ReSharper -> Tools menu.

• Import some premade Surround Templates (ReSharper -> Tools -> Templates Explorer...):

https://github.com/dsschneidermann/surround-template-shortcuts/blob/master/SurroundTemplateShortcuts.DotSettings?raw=true (8 templates)

• Note: you will have to clear the mnemonic numbers from any other Surround Templates (or just remove them entirely, if you've never used them like me). Also note the mnemonics have been made with a euro-keyboard where the parenthesis are 8 and 9 - just change if desired.

Planned

• Support for adding Postfix commands to active Surround Templates
• Settings page (if options are needed for the plugin)
