Atom package to quote every word of selected text

Atom quote-words package

Quotes the separated words in the selected text.

Installing

Use the Atom package manager, which can be found in the Settings view, to search for and install quote-words. Or on the command line

apm install quote-words

Usage

Select words to quote such that this:

FOO, BAR, QUX

becomes this:

"FOO", "BAR", "QUX"

It looks for words containing standard word characters: letters, numbers and underscores. You may choose to use double or single quotes. It will update any existing quotes, either double or single, to your chosen quote character:

"FOO", 'BAR',
FOO_BAR
, FIZZY_1 : Q-U-X

becomes this:

"FOO", "BAR",
"FOO_BAR"
, "FIZZY_1" : "Q"-"U"-"X"

Multiple words appearing between punctuation separators are quoted together:

French Polynesia, French Southern Territories

becomes this:

"French Polynesia", "French Southern Territories"

More complex strings are treated naively:

https://github.com

becomes this:

"https"://"github"."com"

The commands are accessible from Packages -> Quote Words, context-menu -> Quote Words or default shortcuts:

ctrl-" and ctrl-'

You may need to install keyboard-localization for the shortcuts to work as expected with your keyboard.

quote-words's Issues

Avoid quotes in space seperated strings

Quote word is adding quotes on each word in a string which is space separated. I want quotes to appear in every new line and not in space seprated strings. Here is the example,

Problem

French Polynesia => "French" "Polynesia"
French Southern Territories => "French" "Southern" "Territories"

Required

French Polynesia => "French Polynesia"
French Southern Territories => "French Southern Territories"
