Feature request: Paste around selection

[lucasvieites]

Hi,
this feature would enable you to have a "variable" in your snippet which would be replaced with the selected text you are pasting, for example"

1. your snippet contains a predefined variable text: "<a href='%THEVARIABLE%'>%THEVARIABLE</a>"
2. you select a piece of text, say: "https://www.github.com"
3. you paste the snippet "over" the selection and the variable gets replaced
4. result: "<a href='https://www.github.com'>https://www.github.com</a>"

Any news on this?

Nope, nothing yet. In the meantime, I'm using Espanso, which has this feature, and many more.
