How to surround flutter widget in vscode

Just wondering if there is a shortcut or extension in visual studio code to surround a code block - or more specifically highlight the widget name and then surround that widgets children.

Often is the case where I have created, lets say a:

Padding(
  padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
  child: Container(
  ...

But then after some writing, i want to surround that Padding with something else, like a Column or Row. As is, I need to prefix the Padding with Row( child: and then scroll down and add the new ),` bracket

Is there not a way to just select the Padding and then tell vs code that I am going to prefix this so add the bracket for me?

Pretty sure I have seen this in action in IntelliJ

Ctrl + dot on windows or Command + dot on mac should do the trick!

I have been installed a plugin "key promoter X", and it offers you shortcuts on actions you do in IDE. Then you are wrapping once via context menu, and it offers you a shortcut, set or manage, and I have adde "cmd + W" to wrap with a widget. Very useful.

In Ubuntu VSCode it is also ctrl + . where as in Ubuntu Android Studio or Intellij it was alt + enter.

⚠️ If wrap with Column is not shown on Right-click - refactor:

on Window : Ctrl + .
on MacOs : ⌘ + .

Then Right-click > wrap with Column

Here is the reason why this happen: https://dartcode.org/docs/refactorings-and-code-fixes/ . Also documented there: you can now bind shortcuts to the refactor actions:

Ctrl+. in Code opens the “lightbulb” menu showing all code fixes/refactors. Code v1.20 gained the ability to keybind quickfixes. To do this you should edit your keybindings.json file and include the ID of the refactor as found below.
