[New Plugin] SurroundSelection
-
This automatically surrounds the selection(s) in quotes/brackets/parenthesis/etc that you type. This can also be used on multiple or rectangular selections. This is a nice feature in SublimeText and wanted it in Notepad++. I threw this together quickly for my own use but figured others might find it of interest.
Note: This is still in early development. It has not been tested with non-US keyboard layouts. This uses a keyboard hook instead of normal N++ shortcuts. If anyone can check this out on a different layout I’d appreciate it.

Hello dail,
Thank you for this nice and useful feature. I appreciate your prolific great work.
It works perfectly both with English and Hebrew keyboard layout.
Some suggestions/questions:
- An option to toggle the selection surrounding would be a nice addition.
- Any reason only the opening characters surrounds the selection?
- This is related to [2]: in RTL
( { [are the closing characters.
Best regards.

Hi Dail, Awesome plugin! Thanks!
I’ve wanted this functionality for quite a while now, I even “made” a python script to do this, only to later learn that I can’t get the keystrokes before the text is overridden… so it didn’t work. I thought to try my first plugin, but never got around to it… Now I don’t have to, thanks to you!I tested it on my machine - plain ol’ English - but I tested it and it worked perfectly!
Regards,
David -
Could you update PluginManagers list with the new plugin if you consider it stable enough for more widespreaded usage.

Hi, @Dail,
I was quite eager to test your plugin, on my French configuration ! At first sight, it did not seem to work, on my N++ v7.3.3 configuration, with default plugins, except for the DSpellCheek.dll plugin !
But, as you spoke about testing our current layout, I began to test all the keys combinations, on my French keyboard…
I, finally, got the five equivalent keys, on a French keyboard :
For [......] => VK_OEM_4 key = FR Key ° ) ] For {......} => SHIFT + VK_OEM_4 key For (......) => SHIFT + VK_9 key = FR Key 9 ç ^ For '......' => VK_OEM_7 key = FR Key ² For "......" => SHIFT + VK_OEM_7 key
@dail, to compare the US and FR keyboard layouts, just click on the two links, below :
http://ascii-table.com/keyboard.php/103P-1
http://ascii-table.com/keyboard.php/189
( BTW, I’ve never seen any French 251 keyboard layout !? )
Any keyboard, from a world list, can be seen, at :
http://ascii-table.com/keyboards.php
In addition, you’ll find, in the two next posts, two lists, of my own, which recapitulate :
-
Firstly, all VK_ codes, in hexa and decimal, of all keys of a standard American keyboard
-
Secondly, all VK_ codes, in hexa and decimal, of all keys of a standard French keyboard
I do hope that these lists may help you, somehow !
Best Regards,

An option to toggle the selection surrounding would be a nice addition.
This has been committed now so this will be in the next release.
Any reason only the opening characters surrounds the selection?
Honestly I just did it this way since this is what SublimeText does and was waiting to see if anyone would mention it ;) But I can definitely understand how this would be a bit confusing for RTL having to type the closing characters. So this has also been pushed and will be in the next release.
I’ll probably still wait a little while to see if there are any bugs or improvements before putting it in the PM.
Thanks for the testing and very detailed information!
@ anybody
As I don’t have any way of easily testing other types of layouts I would be glad to accept any Pull Requests adding support for other layouts ;)

Hello, @dail,
With your new version 1.1 of your SurroundSelection.dll plugin, the equivalent keys, on my French keyboard, are, as below :
VK_OEM_4 key = FR Key ° ) ] For [......] => VK_OEM_6 key = FR Key ^ ¨ SHIFT + VK_OEM_4 key = FR Key ° ) ] For {......} => SHIFT + VK_OEM_6 key = FR Key ^ ¨ SHIFT + VK_9 key = FR Key 9 ç ^ For (......) => SHIFT + VK_0 key = FR Key 0 à @ For '......' => VK_OEM_7 key = FR Key ² For "......" => SHIFT + VK_OEM_7 key = FR Key ²
@dail, although I’m quite able to remember these five weird French keys, is there any way to adapt your plugin to “non-English” users ?
May be, I’m going to tell some technical impossibilities, but why not a simple .ini file, where these five keys could be defined ?
Anyway, @dail, many thanks for that very handy plugin, especially, when using rectangular selection !!
Cheers,
