Tips

Follow these shortcuts

with a . and then the
shortcuts for the types of
the parameters separated
by a comma. For example,
nd.s,i creates a new
Dictionary keyed by strings
and holding integers.

Shift+Space suppresses
template expansion
t, f, & n for true, false & null.
r, rt, rf, and rn return values.
Inside methods, templates
like fe, fri, c{TypeShortcut}, st,
sf, and sn work intelligently
with identifiers copied to the
clipboard.
Use {TypeShortcut}.e to get a
.Empty reference for a struct
(like s.e or p.e).
