Make a shortcut for Console.WriteLine()

You could no doubt create a Visual Studio snippet for it (although actually there's one already for cw, apparently - try it!).

I would personally suggest that you don't use a shortcut within the code - it's likely to be clearer to anyone reading it if it still says Console.WriteLine.

Depending on what this is for, it may make sense to write a helper method called, say, Log - that has a reasonable meaning, whereas CW doesn't.

(If this is for logging, consider using something more powerful such as log4net, too.)

C# 6 adds the using static feature:

using static System.Console;

class Program {
  void Main(string[] args) {
     WriteLine("Hello, {0}!", "world");
  }
}

IntelliSense in Visual Studio 2015 understands this new syntax.

Visual Studio already has a default code snippet for this. Just type cw and press tab. Note that if you're considering using a method, it may lack some features like the automatic string.Format and other overloaded parameters.

If you are on .NET 3.5 or newer:

Action<string> cw = Console.WriteLine;

cw("Print Something");
