TIL setting quotes around active region
=======================================
Today I Learned (or rather, rediscovered) how easy it is in Emacs to
surround the active region with quotes.
It is very simple:
* First, make a region active, f.e., select one or more words with C-M-SPACe
(Ctrl-Alt-space)
* Second, type a quote (")
That's it!
This also works for other enclosing elements like parentheses, square
brackets, and so on.
As it happens more often in Emacs, I "learned" of the option by
applying it by accident.
In hindsight, I have known this option, but completely forgot it :)
