Questions & Answers:

• Q: Is it possible to configure, the layout or position of the Search Everywhere pop-up windows?
  A: You can drag them around if you want, and they will remain there for most of the time. Same with resizing.
• Q: Are there any plans for rider to support SpecFlow?
  A: At some point, yes. Feel free to subscribe to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-9750 for status updates.
• Q: With regards to the feature with .if and .not, is there a list of things that you can do at the end of a statement?
  A: Absolutely! Checkout https://www.jetbrains.com/help/rider/Postfix_Templates.html#list  for the full list of Postfix templates.
• Q: Is it possible to drag & drop elements at the structure window?
  A: Not right now, but it is a fairly popular issue. You can vote and track it here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-10911
• Q: Is there any template for element creation, like properties and fields, similar to ctor?
  A: You can use the prop live template to create an auto-property, but there isn’t one for field. You can easily add one for yourself in the Live Templates | C# options page. You can also use macros to do some amazing things.
• Q: When I have a database project in VS I can double click the publish.xml file to open a Publish Database window and publish the DB to SQL Server. Can I do something similar in Rider?
  A: Not currently, at least with the same publish.xml. The database tool window shares its functionality with DataGrip (https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/), and there are some alternative publishing/diffing/syncing options. A previous webinar is available at https://blog.jetbrains.com/datagrip/2017/06/20/working-with-sql-and-databases-in-intellij-based-ides-webinar-follow-up/
• Q: I have custom color scheme for my code. How can i share this scheme between multiple workstations?
  A: Check the IDE settings sync that is available. This will use either your JetBrains account, or a custom repository. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/sharing-your-ide-settings.html
• Q: It looks like Matthias has some sort of code complexity display “simple enough (0%)” in the code vision inline display above the method. How do I get those?
  A: That’s the Cognitive Complexity plugin https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12024-cognitivecomplexity
• Q: Is there a consolidate package option in NuGet to find the packages that are causing warnings?
  A: Not yet, but you can track and vote for this issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-12587
