Add shortcuts to most commons Widgets

[cl0v]

It is possible to add the following shortcuts?

C -> Container in case of > or , (e.g C>NextWidget,C,C) | Column in case of [ (e.g. C[InnerWidgets)
T -> Text
R -> Row
CC -> Center
Ph -> Placeholders

Well, while i'm waiting for the response, i developed a workaround. I will document so you can reproduce and start to dev way faster.

You can copy this comment section so you can use as reference in the start. Yes, keep it above the Scaffold, since there is a little bug when you start with Scaffold, all the child's became body's.
You also should sort them based on usage priority, as i did.

class _PaymentRequirementsPageState extends State<PaymentRequirementsPage> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      //? b1 ElevatedButton
      //? b2 TextButton
      //? c1 Container
      //? c2 Column
      //? c3 Center
      //? c4 card
      //? l1 ListView
      //? l2 ListTile
      //? p1 Placeholder
      //? p2 Padding
      //? r1 Row
      //? s1 SizedBox
      //? t1 Text
     
      body: c1>c2[c3>p1,s1>p1>r1[p1,p1,p1]]
    );
  }
}

After using the find/replace (command+f on Mac) and replace all C1, C2.... for all the file.dart you will achieve the result:
NOTE: Do not need to Capitalize the letters, idk why but the extension already do that for you. =D

body: Container(
        child: Column(
          children: <Widget>[
            Center(
              child: Placeholder(),
            ),
            SizedBox(
              child: Placeholder(
                child: Row(
                  children: <Widget>[
                    Placeholder(),
                    Placeholder(),
                    Placeholder(),
                  ],
                ),
              ),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      )

I'v made some improvments, you can run a simple dart script to replace the code automatically for you.

You have to do the following changes:

1. Create tasks.json in .vscode folder (You can run "Tasks: Open User Tasks" on the command palette. tasks.openUserTasks)
2. Paste the following code:

{
    // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
    // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "run replacement script",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "dart",
            "args": [
                "PATH/TO/YOUR/Script.dart", // Replace with your script path. No need to add ../ to exit .vscode folder.
                "${file}"
            ],
            "problemMatcher": []
        }
    ]
}

3. Create a "script_name.dart" and place the code:

import 'dart:io';

void main(List<String> arguments) async {
  final filePath = arguments[0];
  if (!filePath.contains(".dart")) {
    print("Is not a .dart file");
    return;
  }

  // Read the file
  var file = File(filePath);
  var code = await file.readAsString();

  //? B1 "ElevatedButton",
  //? B2 "TextButton",
  //? C1 "Container",
  //? C2 "Column",
  //? C3 "Center",
  //? C4 "Card",
  //? F1 "Form",
  //? L1 "ListView",
  //? L2 "ListTile",
  //? P1 "Placeholder",
  //? P2 "Padding",
  //? R1 "Row",
  //? S1 "SizedBox",
  //? T1 "Text",
  //? T2 "TextField",
  
  var findList = [
    'B1',
    'B2',
    'C1',
    'C2',
    'C3',
    'C4',
    'F1',
    'L1',
    'L2',
    'P1',
    'P2',
    'R1',
    'S1',
    'T1',
    'T2',
  ];

  var replaceList = [
    "ElevatedButton",
    "TextButton",
    "Container",
    "Column",
    "Center",
    "Card",
    "Form",
    "ListView",
    "ListTile",
    "Placeholder",
    "Padding",
    "Row",
    "SizedBox",
    "Text",
    "TextField",
  ];

  for (var i = 0; i < findList.length; i++) {
    code = code.replaceAll(findList[i], replaceList[i]);
  }

  await file.writeAsString(code);
}

4. Running the task
   4.1 - Open the command palette.
   4.2 - Type "run tasks"
   4.3 - Select "Tasks: Run Tasks"
