key beings for "surround in tag"

I'm frustrated by the fact that I have to use the popup menu to access the "surroung in tag" function. As an author of XML, I'm constantly surrounding code with tags (marking it up). I should be able to hit a key, type the tag, and move on.

I'm using the Eclipse plugin. I tried to standalone app hoping it would support this, but it only lets you apply the last "surroung with" command, which isn't terribly useful for general use.

In the same vein, I commonly change the name of tags -- it would be helpful to have a command that let me do this quickly.

Being a text editor, any command that effects the text should certainly have a possible key binding. I can't believe users aren't screaming for this.[/i]

Hi,

Surround in tag will be a separate action with configurable shortcut (CTRL+E by default).

Thanks for pointing this out.
