Some of the code hints shown contain the symbol §. These hints denote templates which you can insert by pressing Tab. You can maintain your own library of templates in the Options dialog box. For more information, see Code Templates.

Code hints are computed by the GUI. For performance reasons, they are derived heuristically by analyzing only the current statement. While keyword hints are always valid at the current cursor position, identifier hints cannot be filtered for correct type or visibility information and may present semantically invalid identifiers.
