Yes, that's what I meant: Select text, then prepend and/or append arbitrary text at the beginning and/or end of each line in the selection.

Thanks.

Not sure what you want, if you want to replace a manual selection with
itself plus a pre/apppend text, then I don't think there is such a

You can of course use search/replace to do it with a regex so long as
the "selection" (ie the search string) is the same.
