Configuration

To avoid shortcut conflicts and localization issues, this extension does not set key bindings by itself.

To configure your own keyboard shortcuts, open the Command Palette with ctrl+shift+p, select Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts and paste the following lines to your keybindings.json file. Modify the key combinations and available commands as you please.

    {
        "key": "ctrl+k ctrl+e",
        "command": "extension.embraceParenthesis",
        "when": "editorHasSelection && editorTextFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+k ctrl+s",
        "command": "extension.embraceSquareBrackets",
        "when": "editorHasSelection && editorTextFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+k ctrl+l",
        "command": "extension.embraceCurlyBrackets",
        "when": "editorHasSelection && editorTextFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+k ctrl+a",
        "command": "extension.embraceAngleBrackets",
        "when": "editorHasSelection && editorTextFocus"
