A few days back I felt this question to be dumb and dint post it here, but after even after searching a lot I dint find a proper solution.
For those of you who used TextEdit (on Mac), they will perfectly know what I am talking about.
While coding I just want to put quotes or parentheses over a word or a line.To do this I'll have to move back to the starting of the word, open the quote and then go to the ending of the word and close it.
Is there a plugin or so in eclipse where I can just surround the current selection with quotes or parenthesis ?? I am not talking about quick fix (Ctrl + 1). It can be used for much complex templates.
You can do that with a custom template, so for example if you want to create this template for java, you can do :
Preferences ---> Java ---> Templates
Create a new template and call it quote, then type this as pattern :
"${word_selection}"${cursor}
Save it and Apply.
After that you can use that template selecting the text you want to quote then press CTRL + SPACE and then chose quote.
Same thing for parenthesis :
(${word_selection})${cursor}
