`logwarn`	Unity log warning Scope C# 2.0+ statements, Unity C# file Body UnityEngine.Debug.LogWarning($VAR$); Parameters `VAR` - Shows basic code completion list at the point where the variable is evaluated
`logex`	Unity log exception Scope C# 2.0+ statements, Unity C# file Body UnityEngine.Debug.LogException($VAR$); Parameters `VAR` - Shows basic code completion list at the point where the variable is evaluated
`menuitem`	Unity menu item handler Scope C# 2.0+ type members, Unity C# file Body [UnityEditor.MenuItem($MENUNAME$)] public static void $NAME$() { $END$ } Parameters `MENUNAME` - Shows basic code completion list at the point where the variable is evaluated `NAME` - Shows basic code completion list at the point where the variable is evaluated `END` - The caret position after the template is applied.
`sfield`	Unity serialized field Scope C# 2.0+ type members, Unity serializable type members Body [UnityEngine.SerializeField] private $TYPE$ $NAME$;$END$ Parameters `TYPE` - no macro `NAME` - When executed in a variable declaration (where variable name should stand), suggests a name for the variable `END` - The caret position after the template is applied.
`logerr`	Unity log error Scope C# 2.0+ statements, Unity C# file Body UnityEngine.Debug.LogError($VAR$); Parameters `VAR` - Shows basic code completion list at the point where the variable is evaluated

`sprop`	Unity property with serialized backing field Scope C# 2.0+ type members, Unity serializable type members Body [UnityEngine.SerializeField] private $type$ $fieldName$; public $type$ $propertyName$ { get { return this.$fieldName$; } }$END$ Parameters `type` - no macro `propertyName` - When executed in a variable declaration (where variable name should stand), suggests a name for the variable `fieldName` - Decapitalizes string value (i.e. changes the case of the first letter to lowercase) `END` - The caret position after the template is applied.
`cor`	Unity coroutine method Scope C# 2.0+ type members, Unity C# file Body private System.Collections.IEnumerator $NAME$() { $END$yield break; } Parameters `NAME` - no macro `END` - The caret position after the template is applied.
`logvar`	Unity log variable Scope C# 2.0+ statements, Unity C# file Body UnityEngine.Debug.Log("$VAR$ = " + $VAR$); Parameters `VAR` - Shows basic code completion list at the point where the variable is evaluated
