## How it work?
This extension allows you to wrap/surround a selected text in a editable content (like form fields) with a character of your choice. This is particularly useful when needing to quote a word with the "quotation marks" key of your keyboard, but also surrounded with parenthesis.
ℹ️ Example, I have made a text selection for the word "dolor", next I push the left parenthesis key:
BEFORE: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
AFTER: Lorem ipsum (dolor) sit amet.
This extension allow more than the simple & double quotes, below the default configuration:
### Simple wrap (left character is the same of right):
" (double quotation mark) "
¨ (diaeresis (umlaut)) ¨
' (apostrophe) '
¸ (cedilla) ¸
` (back-tick or grave accent) `
´ (acute accent) ´
· (middle dot) ·
. (dot or full stop) .
* (asterisk) *
º (masculine ordinal indicator) º
ª (feminine ordinal Indicator) ª
° (degree symbol) °
% (percent sign) %
= (equal sign) =
+ (plus sign) +
! (exclamation mark) !
| (vertical bar) |
¦ (broken bar) ¦
~ (tilde) ~
¯ (macron) ¯
_ (low line) _
- (hyphen-minus) -
: (colon) :
¤ (currency sign) ¤
§ (section sign) §
### Simple wrap (left character is different of right):
< (less-than sign, greater-than sign) >
˂ (modifier letter left arrowhead, modifier letter right arrowhead) ˃

oTranscribe uses paragraph tags inside a contenteditable=true div, so maybe that's why? Regardless, it doesn't do the one thing I needed it for. :-( - (2022-07-08, v:1.0.0) Ibrahem Zayed: I love it but it doesn't work in Zendesk

Advice for users: when you double-click a word in Chrome, it will select the space after the word. Which is not the same as in code editors (sublime, atom, NP++ , etc). You can double-click and drag slightly left to de-select the trailing space (doesn't work with touch-pads). Someone also wrote a clever AHK script that moves your mouse one pixel after a double-click which does the trick. See this superuser post/answer https://superuser.com/a/1623999 @developer, if it's possible to bundle a solution to this (changing the native Chromium double-click word behaviour) into your extension as a setting/option, that would be excellent - (2021-01-25, v:1.0.0) Liz Bigler: how to use it?
I installed it, but I don't understand how to use it. I'm highlighting text, and then using the quotation key, but it doesn't work. Thank you
