‘forr’ shortcut in Visual Studio 2008/2010

I hit upon this new shortcut key for a ‘for’ loop.

Alright, most of you know that you can type ‘prop’ in a code-behind file and you’ll get a ‘template’ (for lack of a better word) for declaring a property.

You can now start typing the type name and then hit ‘Tab’ to go the property name and give it a name.
