How to add surrounding on visual selection?

[OriLiMu]

In visual mode I select Hello World and press ys", but nothing happened . And I can't see related introduce to visual mode(except the linewise mode). Tnx ~

You can make a selection, press 'S', then press '('. See: https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround/blob/master/doc/surround.txt

@zerozero7 What was the other plugin? I'm having the same problem. Thanks :)

[kubaugustyn]

@sukovanej Sorry, I can't remember. You can check binding by :vmap S command

Is there a way to add surroundings with more than one character? like adding [[ or more complicated stuff. it can be done with another command , and existing command could be used for one word surroundings like ", ', (, {, [
