This package emulates surround.vim by Tim Pope. The functionality is wrapped into a minor mode. To enable it globally, add the following lines to ~/.emacs: (require 'evil-surround) (global-evil-surround-mode 1) Alternatively, you can enable evil-surround-mode along a major mode by adding `turn-on-evil-surround-mode' to the mode hook. This package uses Evil as its vi layer. It is available from: https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil
