To insert a snippet, you must enter the snippets alias (which is usually the first symbol of the code), and press tab. For example, typing switch followed by tab, gives you this snippet:
switch ()
{
case :
break;
case :
break;
}
I don't have a clear picture of all the available aliases, but these work:
- switch
- for
- do
- while
- try
In the regular Visual Studio editor you can add your own code snippets. I haven't figured out yet, if this is also possible for the X++ editor.
