Does anyone else is annoyed by putting strings into double quotes manually ? If I'm not writing code from left to right, but pasting Strings (which happens very often), especially if double click selects the content between surrounding double quotes, I must go at the beginning, type ", then at the end and type " again...very annoying.

A:
I don't know if such a shortcut exists. But what you want seems doable using a macro. So I would:
- install Practically Macro for Eclipse
- record a macro doing something like " - CRTL+V - " and name it
- go to the Preferences, then General > Keys, type the name of the macro and assign a shortcut.

It works great Pascal, macro: insert "; ctrl >; insert " .... I put it as ctrl + z and I have what I wanted
