Extension summary

This extension in based on the behavior of programming IDEs that speed up writing texts. Select the text and press the opening bracket or quotation mark, instead of replacing the text (default behavior), the text will be wrapped correctly with the selected bracket or character and the selection will persist.

With this extension you can wrap the text with one of the possible character pair. Choose from:

  • (...)
  • [...]
  • {...}
  • <...>
  • '...'
  • "..."
  • ...

After pressing the first of the characters, the selected text appears in the matching brackets or string literal characters and selection remains the same.

The extension does not store or send the selected texts.
