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) ˃
« (left-pointing double angle quotation mark, right-pointing double angle quotation mark) »
“ (left double quotation mark, right double quotation mark) ”
ʿ (modifier letter left half ring, modifier letter right half ring) ʾ
( (left parenthesis, right parenthesis) )
