Description IfElseTrue 2014-03-18 18:57:33 UTC 
PHP editor has a little nice time-saving feature, which works like follows.


If one selects a portion of text and presses one of braces (,[,{ or one of quotes ", ' then the highlighted word gets surrounded with that char

1. select foo
2. press "
3. result "foo"
4. select "foo"
5. press (
6. result ("foo")

Would be great if it would also work in all editors regardless of current used language
