  <p>Does Visual Studio have any type of shortcut (shortcut meaning short of writing out the actual type name) that allows you to write "var" and have it converted to the actual type name?</p>
  
  <p>ex:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var x = new Dictionary&lt;string, string&gt;();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>::Do magic thing::</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dictionary&lt;string, string&gt; x = new Dictionary&lt;string, string&gt;();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>EDIT --
  To all the question haters: I asked because I was in a situation where I wanted to find all references to a particular type in my solution.  Vars don't show up in that search.</p>
