Usage
Autocomplete
In a C# file, type any of the following keywords at the end of an expression to trigger autocomplete:
.var, .await, .if, .return, .varA, .ifA, .returnA
Examples (triggered at the end of a code line):
Typing new List {1,2,3}.varA will suggest var myVar = new List {1,2,3}.
Typing .ifA will suggest a single-line if statement.
Quick Tools
Use the keyword @newC# to quickly create a C# code template, or use F1 or Ctrl + P and type "Like Rider New Template".
Use @nguid to generate a GUID:
Example: @nguid → choose format → 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000
