In addition to Amra s answer  you can find other snippets by typing  Ctrl   K  Ctrl   X  Which is mapped to Edit InsertSnippet in my Visual Studio and shows you the full list of snippets available   Also remember that you can configure your own snippets by using the Snippets Manager  which is available in the Tools menu  Code Snippets Manager      Basically you create a file   snippet and use the Import button in the Code Snippets Manager to add it to Visual Studio  For a full tutorial you can go to the docs  Walkthrough  Create a code snippet     In Visual Studio Code snippets are handled slightly different than in Visual Studio  You can access all snippets by typing Ctrl   Shift   P and type in snippet  Two options should be available  Insert Snippet and Preferences  Configure User Snippets   The former inserts a snippet from your list of snippets  using the Language Mode which you can see in the status bar   and with the latter you can create your own snippets for any Language Mode   If you know the shortname you can just type that and use Tab to expand the snippet  For inserting a C  property you have three snippets available  prop  propfull  and propg  for different purposes

Using VsVim the code snippets seem to work a little funny  The shortcut I was looking for when I ended up here is much simpler  after a member name type  g s   I have delimiter auto-closing turned on  so the closing brace appears on    and typing a semicolon triggers an autocomplete for get and set   It works on VS2013 and VS2015  and VS2012 just lacks the automatic brace matching
