Zed’s Vim mode includes a powerful “surround” feature, similar to the popular vim-surround plugin. This allows you to easily add, change, and delete surrounding characters like parentheses, brackets, quotes, and HTML tags.

The primary commands are:

• y s (Yank Surround): Add surrounds to a text object.
• d s (Delete Surround): Delete a surrounding pair.
• c s (Change Surround): Change one surrounding pair for another.

Examples

Command	Action	Before	After
ysiw"	Add double quotes around a word	word	"word"
ds"	Delete surrounding double quotes	"word"	word
cs"'	Change surrounding double quotes to single quotes	"word"	'word'
ysiw<em>	Add <em> tags around a word	word	<em>word</em>
cst<p>	Change surrounding tags to <p> tags	<em>word</em>	<p>word</p>
