Is there a plugin, macro, or some sort of option for placing tags around selected text after I highlight and begin typing?

I've seen this basic functionality in Textmate repeatedly.– Rein SangekiCommented Feb 9, 2011 at 19:01

yes use the "Snippet Plus" Plugin. Then create your snippet and use the function "Surround with". It behaves like the Surround With of Visual Studio.

Thanks for the response but I was looking for something that actually works like Textmates, where you can just highlight the text and begin typing a tag and it auto surrounds it with said tag, rather than this which seems to need me to manually tell it I want to use surrond with.

@ReinSangeki that will be in direct conflict with the traditional behaviour of "Select and Overwrite", use a little the plugin that i'm mentionting. Maybe its all that you need.– mjsrCommented Feb 11, 2011 at 21:13

Yeah I have been playing around with the plugin you've recommended. It's not perfect but it gets the job done. Thanks. Commented Mar 7, 2011 at 16:08
