Assign code snippet to keyboard shortcut in Visual Studio

Question

Anyone knows how to assign key shortcut to specific code snippet?

I would like to assign for instance CTRL+K,CTRL+J to a #region snippet.

Answer 1

The closest solution I've found for this is to copy the intended snippet to your local snippets directory.

e.g. For VS-2015: %Userprofile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Code Snippets\Visual C#\My Code Snippets

Then open it in a text editor and change the shortcut to something quick and simple such as '1'.

Now to use it, all you need to do is press Ctrl+K+S > Enter > 1 > Enter

Additionally, you can make it even quicker by changing the hotkey for the surround-with command. (Tools > Options > Keyboard > Edit.SurroundWith)
