Surround Templates

This tab is used to manage surround templates. It contains the list of available templates for different languages, a preview area where samples of selected templates are displayed, a quick access list, and a toolbar with a set of buttons to create and edit templates:

The Template Editor code pane that you can launch from the toolbar is described on a separate page.

This page only describes user controls of this tab. See Index of Predefined Templates for a detailed list of predefined surround templates.

Quick Access List

This section contains templates that you can access directly through ReSharper | Edit | Surround With Template (ReSharper | Edit | Create New File for file templates). Any surround templates that are not included in the default drop-down list can be accessed by clicking More in the list. To add a template to the quick access list, select it from Available templates and drag it between the two sections.
