"Extract Variable" in Visual Studio without ReSharper

Question

I don't have ReSharper at my current gig, and I miss the "Extract Variable" refactoring. I understand that it's possible to write your own refactoring "snippet" in VS. Does anybody have one that does this?

Answer 1

In Visual Studio 2017, if you select something, on right-click you will find a menu option "Quick Actions and Refactorings", with shortcut ctrl+..
This seems to be somewhat similar to ReSharper's ALT+Enter.

This allows you to extract a variable, as in this example where the text was selected and then ctrl+. was pressed:

Answer 2

Have a look at this post, but it does not seem to be a documented feature.

Another way would be a write a macro using the EnvDTE programming model. Not easy, but should be feasible.
