How to create a specific "replace refactoring" with its own shortcut?

Question

Say I have a property implementing INotifyPropertyChanged:

public WhichHandle LastHandleFC
{
    get => _lastHandleFc;
    set => SetField(ref _lastHandleFc, value);
}

I can replace with regex: \r\n^\s+ to (space), select the property 5 lines, select replace all in selection (alt+a), then confirm with OK.

Result:

public WhichHandle LastHandleFC { get => _lastHandleFc; set => SetField(ref _lastHandleFc, value); }

But now I would like to have my cursor somewhere on the property (not selection) and make it happen with a defined shortcut (like a resharper or VS operation, with alt+enter or ctrl+.).

Is there a way to achieve this ? Is there a way to achieve this after selection a block with several properties and have each of them transformed like this, while respecting the distance between properties ?

To be complete, INotifyPropertyChanged is implemented with:

public event PropertyChangedEventHandler? PropertyChanged;

protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string? propertyName = null)
{
    PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}

protected bool SetField<T>(ref T field, T value, [CallerMemberName] string? propertyName = null)
{
    if (EqualityComparer<T>.Default.Equals(field, value)) return false;
    field = value;
    OnPropertyChanged(propertyName);
    return true;
}

Since you haven't received any answers yet, I thought I give it a try although it's not exactly what you're looking for.

Instead of changing an existing property, you could create a R# template for a new property. Those templates come with some built-in macros to automate various things, the following docs will give you a good starting point:

I also wrote two blog posts which touch this topic - you might find them useful:
