How do I wrap a selection with an HTML tag in Visu

Question

This seems like the most basic question in the world, but damned if I can find an answer.

Is there a keyboard shortcut, either native to Visual Studio or through Code Rush or other third-party plug-in, to wrap the current selection with an HTML tag? I'm tired of typing the opening tag, cutting the misplaced closing tag to the clipboard, moving the cursor, and pasting it at the end where it belongs.

Update: This is how TextMate handles surrounding a selection with a tag. Frankly, I'm stunned that Visual Studio doesn't seem to have a similar feature. Creating a macro or snippet for every conceivable tag I might want to use seems absurd.

Answer 1

Nothing I'm aware of, but writing a macro to wrap it in whatever tag you want shouldn't be hard. I have a similar one that will wrap my selection in a region block.

Answer 2

When faced with this situation, I often type the closing tag first, then the opening tag. This prevents the IDE from "helping" by inserting the closing tag where I don't want it. I'm also interested in a better solution, though.
