Bracketize

This Chrome extension comes from the need to copy your IDE behaviour to your browser.

The first behaviour I want to tackle is the possibility to quickly surround a word with a few particular characters.

List of particular characters:

  • ( => applies () around the selected word/sentence
  • [ => applies [] around the selected word/sentence
  • { => applies {} around the selected word/sentence
  • ' => applies '' around the selected word/sentence
  • " => applies "" around the selected word/sentence
  • * => applies ** around the selected word/sentence

Notes

  • This extension is in a beta release, so it can have a few unexpected behaviour that I (try to) fix as I go along using it.
  • This is a very simple extension, so it might not work for elaborate websites (e.g. facebook.com, workplace.com, gmail.com)
