AlexandreG's solution works great. From my side I can tell you have to save the file with .snippet extension. And 2nd tip: if you want to save a snippets together with system snippets you must save them here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C#
or copy location from snippets file dialog
