Currently there exist options to toggle Markdown features for selected text, such as bold via the default hotkey ctrl+b. It would be helpful to have this functionality extended to brackets and quotes. By using a modifier key like ctrl, selected text could be surrounded in () brackets by using the hotkey ctrl+shift+9, or selected text could be surrounded in " double quotes by using the hotkey ctrl+shift+'. This could apply to other bracket symbols and combinations. For example those which are custom defined.

Thanks, kaimera, I’m new to obsidian. I have a bunch of notes that contain hierarchical lists by tabulations, is there any way I can add the [[double bracket]] automatically to each word?
In VS Code, simply selecting text and then pressing (, < or any other containing symbol surrounds the text with the pair (e.g. “test” → “(test)”). I imagine this isn’t too difficult to implement
