Often in coding and templating I need to wrap a certain part of text. Is there any shortcut to wrap the current selection, for example:
Hello World
"Hello World"
Hello World
{{ trans 'Hello World' }}
Im using PhpStorm 7 for Mac and PC. I found something similiar, with: ctrl+alt+j you can wrap with a html-tag but nothing else. Also ctrl+alt+- comments the current selection according to the current file format(php, twig, html, ...)
I know this is a little late answer, but I hope anyone who looks this question get helped.
In PhpStorm, almost everything can be configured but a little tricky and takes some learning curve.
It's very common behaviour that select a word and type single quote (or double quote) to surround it.
Hello World
'Hello World'
"Hello World"
To enable this, tick on checkbox of Preferences -> IDE -> Editor -> Smart Keys -> Surround Selection on typing quote or brace
.
Another way, you select something (word, condition) and press Cmd + Alt + T (on Mac) , Ctrl + Alt + T (on Windows). Available Surround With
options dialog box will be displayed.
For PhpStorm Version 8, tick on checkbox of Preferences -> Editor -> General -> Smart Keys -> Surround selection on typing quote or brace
.
For PhpStorm Version 2016, use Cmd + Alt + S (on Mac) or Ctrl + Alt + S (on Win) to go to Settings. Tick on checkbox of Settings -> Editor -> General -> Smart Keys -> Surround selection on typing quote or brace`.
