That is, short key sequences that when typed, trigger the insertion of some text block.

• /// - Generates a summary block (documentation).
• override - Triggers a selector window of base class or interface methods that can be overridden, and upon selection generates a proper function signature with dummy body.
• } - Formats the block it closes. This is useful. If you need to enclose existing code in a {} block, you don't need to worry about re-indenting, simply type the opening line of the block with the {, and then close the block with } and press enter. The moment you press enter the block will be re-indented properly.
• To implement interface methods, move the cursor on the interface name and press the context menu key. A menu will pop up that will give the option to implement the interface or to implement it explicitly. This will create regions too.
