how to automate a lot of repetitive actions in Visual Studio 2012?

How to automate a lot of repetitive actions in Visual Studio 2012? Need to convert synchronic methods to async. For example, need to do from

public void SomeMethod(String something)
{
     //action
}
public Some SomeMethodOneMore(String something)
{
    //action
}

to

public async Task SomeMethodAsync(String something)
{
     //action
}
public async Task<Some> SomeMethodOneMoreAsync(String something)
{
    //action
}

I am assuming that the methods already have code in them, so in that vein, I don't think there is one single way.

In the past I have highlighted the common bit of code and simply done a manual find and replace. It's slow and painful.

For your type of work, you can get an awful lot done with careful use of SublimeText's multiple cursors. See this video demonstration.

In Visual Studio I have 'Open with SublimeText' defined as an External Tool with a keyboard shortcut for Alt+O. Then whenever I need the multiple cursor functionality I can switch to it quickly.

The same functionality is also available as a free extension for visual studio. See Scott Hanselman's writeup
