Here is the list of CodeRush using (C#)/Imports (VB) specific code templates. The templates below generate namespace reference declarations. Templates start with the letter “u” (the equivalent templates start with the letter “i” in VB). To add a namespace, just enter a “u” followed by the uppercase letters of the namespace. For example, to add a reference to “System.IO”, use “usio”.
These templates can be found on the Editor | Templates options page in the Options Dialog. Expansions containing several values in parenthesis will be enumerated using the CodeRush Intellassist feature: pressing the Tab/Shift+Tab keys will switch to another value.

As an alternative, you can set the CommonMenu to one of the suggested values. The CommonMenu property has the DevExpress.CodeRush.Menus.VSCommonBar enumeration type, which enumerates most of common Visual Studio menu names, such as File, Edit, View, Tools, DevExpress, Help, etc.

The Base type constructors are not implemented code issue is an alternative code issue to the “Can implement base type constructors“. The different between these two is in their type – one is an error and another one is a hint.
