A VS Code extension that wraps selected code blocks with customizable templates such as if/else, try/catch, and loop snippets. It supports multi-selection, language identifiers, per-snippet keybindings, and works in VS Code for Web.

Use cases

• wrap selected code in try/catch in vscode
• surround code block with if statement shortcut
• add custom wrapper snippets in vs code
• wrap multiple selections at once in editor
• assign keyboard shortcuts to surround snippets
• wrap code with for loop template

When to choose

• you frequently wrap code blocks in boilerplate like try/catch or loops in VS Code
• you want customizable, per-snippet keybindings and multi-selection support
• you use vscode.dev and need the same wrapping workflow in the browser

When to avoid

• you use an editor other than VS Code or compatible forks
• you only need built-in snippet expansion without selection wrapping
• you want fully automated refactoring rather than manual template wrapping
