WebStorm wrapper text with square brackets

When I select some text, for example form-col and press [ I want to get [form-col] but WebStorm replace selected text with [. Is there a way to configure it?

I don't think that functionality exist. However you can use the Live template functionality. It's very useful and it does pretty much the same thing.

To do this, go on : [File]->[Settings]->[Editor]->[Live Templates]->user, Click button + and add a live template like:

add live template

In you html file when you write the abbreviation what you are added, press Tab and it generate you [] and place the cursor after the first [and now you can write your html tag [form-col]
