Make Eclipse wrap selected text in brackets

Question

I'm using Eclipse Kepler.

It takes too long to go from the start of the block of the code to the end so I can add opening and closing brackets. I'm using Ctrl+Shift and the arrow keys to select my blocks, but I don't have a hotkey or anything to wrap the selection with brackets. I'd love to have some command such as Ctrl+Shift+( or Ctrl+Shift+9 to do this, but I can't find the way to make them.

Templates can't help me here. Preferences > General > Keys can't bind anything in the editor. Yes, I know about the Home and End buttons; this question is not about them.

I made a template:

(${word_selection})${cursor} 

This helps a bit. However, I have to use Ctrl+Space, then Up Arrow, then Enter, to use. It also only works for parentheses; if I wanted to try with, say, angle braces, it wouldn't work.

As far as I see, there is no way to bind this template with a shortcut, except making a plugin for eclipse.

Answer 1

Using ${line_selection} I've made a template just like yours, and it works:

{
    ${line_selection}${cursor}
}

Also, I tried using <> instead of {} and it works.
