Surround the selection with parenthesis, brackets, quotes, etc.

Inserts open and close notations on both ends of the current selection(s).

The following commands have been implemented:

Command | Description | Notation | Suggested Key

• | - | :-: | :-: extension.embraceParenthesis | Surround with Parenthesis | ( ) | ctrl+k,e | extension.embraceSquareBrackets | Surround with Square Brackets | [ ] | ctrl+k,s | extension.embraceCurlyBrackets | Surround with Curly Brackets | { } | ctrl+k,l | extension.embraceAngleBrackets | Surround with Angle Brackets | < > | ctrl+k,a | extension.embraceSingleQuotes | Surround with Single Quotes | ' ' | ctrl+k,q | extension.embraceDoubleQuotes | Surround with Double Quotes | " " | ctrl+k,o | | | |

Select the text that you need to surround and press the configured key binding.

To avoid shortcut conflicts and localization issues, this extension does not set key bindings by itself.

To configure your own keyboard shortcuts, open the Command Palette with ctrl+shift+p, select Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts and paste the following lines to your keybindings.json file. Modify the key combinations and available commands as you please.
