Wrap text with tags ain't working?

#1

Hi …question, if I understood it right, I can select a string, type ex. “p”, press TAB, and have the string wrapped with p-Tags? However, the selected string gets deleted if I’m doing that. How can I fix that? Version is 3.2.2.

after that, the selection region will be replace with plain text “p”.


I used alt+shift+w but not sure whether this is from built-in or a plugin.

That’s default functionality; it’s available from the main menu at Edit > Tag > Wrap Selection With Tag.

The binding is alt+shift+w on Windows and Linux and ctrl+shift+w on MacOS (but the binding is visible in the menu as well).

Yes, but if I use WrapSelectionWithText (either via Edit > Tag > …, or via alt+shift+w) how can I change
the default p-Tags to other tags? And, if possible, how can I choose any tag I like while typing?

When you press the key and the text is wrapped, the default tag is <p>, but whatever you type becomes the tag. So, just type whatever tag name you want (just the name, not the < or >) and both the open and the close tag will update.

Works perfect! I don’t know what kept me from seeing that solution … anyway, thank you very much, OdatNurd!
