Add and remove #region blocks

Manage regions in the editor

Right in the editor, you can quickly surround the current selection with region. JetBrains Rider will add the #region and #endregion directives and set the caret in the position where you can type the region name.

tip

To select a logical code block, press Alt+Shift+= one or more times; to select the current declaration, press Alt+Shift+].

You can also move regions in different ways using the Move code element feature:

• You can move the #region and #endregion directives up and down so that the region includes the neighbouring elements, or so that the elements are left out of the region. To do so, set the caret at the directive that you want to move, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt, and then use the up and down arrow keys.

• You can move the whole region up and down in the scope. To do so, select the whole region including #region and #endregion directives, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt, and then use the up and down arrow keys.

To remove an existing region, press Alt+Enter and choose the corresponding context action.
