PhpStorm wrap/surround selection?

Solution 1:

I know this is a little late answer, but I hope anyone who looks this question get helped.
In PhpStorm, almost everything can be configured but a little tricky and takes some learning curve.

It's very common behaviour that select a word and type single quote (or double quote) to surround it.

Hello World
'Hello World'
"Hello World"

To enable this, tick on checkbox of Preferences -> IDE -> Editor -> Smart Keys -> Surround Selection on typing quote or brace.

Another way, you select something (word, condition) and press Cmd + Alt + T (on Mac) , Ctrl + Alt + T (on Windows). Available Surround With options dialog box will be displayed.

Update (for PhpStorm8)

For PhpStorm Version 8, tick on checkbox of Preferences -> Editor -> General -> Smart Keys -> Surround selection on typing quote or brace.

Update (for PhpStorm 2016)

For PhpStorm Version 2016, use Cmd + Alt + S (on Mac) or Ctrl + Alt + S (on Win) to go to Settings. Tick on checkbox of Settings -> Editor -> General -> Smart Keys -> Surround selection on typing quote or brace`.

Solution 2:

As of 2015-02-26 (PhpStorm 8) go to:

File > Settings... > Editor > General > Smart Keys > Surround selection on typing quote or brace
