Introduction:
The Visual Studio IDE is very flexible and customizable. In this blog, you will learn how to customize the Visual studio editor context menu, which improves productivity and developer usability.
Customize context menu:

Step 3: Select the Commands tab from the customize window and select “Editor Context Menus | Code window” from the context menu option.

Step 4: Click on Add Command from customize window, choose Edit -> Selection Format, click on ok now you can see the “Selection Format” option has been added to the context menu as shown in the below figure.


Step 5: Go to editor and do right-click, you can see the “Selection Formation” option in the context menu.
