This is for visual studio.

As suggested by Adrian Smith and others: If you want to bind a keyboard shortcut to create a console log statement, you can do the following:

  1. File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
  2. Below the search bar you’ll see a message “For advanced customizations open and edit keybindings.json”, click on it
  3. Add this to the JSON settings:
{
  "key": "ctrl+shift+l",
  "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
  "when": "editorTextFocus",
  "args": {
    "snippet": "console.log('${TM_SELECTED_TEXT}$1')$2;"
  }
}

Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+L will output the console snippet. Also, if you already have text selected it will be put inside the log statement.

If you rather want intellisene/autocomplete:

Go to Preferences -> User Snippets -> Choose Typescript (or whatever language you want). A json file should open. You can add code snippets there.

There is already a snippet for console.log commented out:

"Print to console": {
    "prefix": "log",
    "body": [
        "console.log('$1');",
        "$2"
    ],
    "description": "Log output to console"
}

You have to do this for every language you want to use the snippet … is kinda bothering.

Also, you should set "editor.snippetSuggestions": "top", so your snippets appear above intellisense. Thanks @Chris!

You can find snippet suggestions in Preferences -> Text Editor -> Suggestions
