Type `shell:startup` to open the Startup folder. Inside that folder create a file called `shortcuts.ahk` and it's contents as follows. ``` #q:: Send, !{F4} Return #w:: Send, ^{F4} Return ``` Then this file will run every time your computer starts. As this is the first time, save the file, then double-click it to run it now so your shortcuts start working without having to restart your computer. Now pressing the following keys will work. Win + W Close current window Win + Q Close current program ## Screenshots Install LightShot from https://app.prntscr.com/ Right-click the Taskbar Icon then click `Options`. Change the `General Hotkey` to your desired shortcut. In my case I use Ctrl + Win + S ## Snippets Type the snippet below and then double-tab to execute /// Create summary comment ctor Create constructor region Creates a new region ## Surround Snippets Ctrl + K + S Surround With The only snippet I use is Region. Built in snippets are stored in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C#`. Open notepad as administrator then open the files to edit them as desired. To add your own, go to your `Documents` folder then into `Visual Studio 2017\Code Snippets\Visual C#` folder and create a sub-folder. Inside place your snippet files. Finally in Visual Studio, go to `Tools -> Code Snippet Manager` and click **Add** then select your folder. Now restart Visual Studio. For surround by region I change the Title and shortcut to `region` removing the prepended # so I don't have to type `Ctrl + K + S #region` instead I can just now type `Ctrl + K + S T Tab` which looks long but when you get used to typing its quicker to select the area of code and tap out that sequence than it is to type `#region` above the code, scroll below it, add new lines, type `#endregion` then new line again. I also fix the newlines around it for how I typically select the text starting at the line in question, and ending at the line below where I want the region to finish. My `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C#\pp_region.snippet` file now looks like this: ```
region region Code snippet for #region Microsoft Corporation Expansion SurroundsWith
