Does Visual Studio have a capability like Emacs registers?

Question

Registers are a feature of emacs that I make a lot of use of. For those not familiar, you highlight some text, and then ask emacs to place it in a numbered register (0-9). Then as you're going along you can ask emacs to insert the text in the given register into your code.

Basically I can save a chunk of text on the fly and then insert it into a buffer at a later time. The content of the register dies when the session dies.

Question is, does Visual Studio have a similar feature?

Answer 1

Ctrl-shift-V will allow you to cycle through the last few things you copied or cut.

Good luck.

Answer 2

You can also drag text onto the Toolbox and later drag it back. Then, of course, there are Code Snippets, macros, etc.
