WF Dependency Property snippet is just three letters!

You might file this under the "it has always been this way and I'm late in figuring it out" category, but I just found the three letter snippet shortcut for Workflow dependency properties and events.  I didn't see this in earlier builds and was getting tired of CTRL+K -> CTRL+X then drilling into the menus to get to Worfklow Dependency property.  Especially since the EventHandler snippet always came first and the way they are worded I had to either move to the cursor keys or type 25+ characters to get it to move down to the property item. 
 
Now I just WDP + Tab + Tab and I'm happily editing a workflow dependency property. 
Or, I can WDE + Tab + Tab and edit my dependency property for an event handler. 
 
Awesome!

Matt-- Could you elaborate on what WDP + Tab +Tab is? Ditto for WDE. I'm just not getting what the key combo is.

Scott, and others,
In the code editor for an activity or a workflow, type "wdp" (no quotes) in C# and your intellisense should pop up and you'll see an item, now selected, labeled wdp. Hit the Tab key twice and you'll get a template of a workflow dependency property that you can tab through to enter various pieces of data (like name, type, etc) and then press Enter to end editing.
