Presents two prompts in a row: first for whatever you want to place before and then what goes after that text. Then the shortcut repeats through the list, applying your “wrap” around each line, then it combines it back and copies it to your clipboard.
Use this to apply markup to a series of lines – add formatting like – [ ] for tasks, HTML tags, or even just quotation marks.
