Snippets to wrap selection

We haven't been told flat-out "why" it was removed, however I'm relatively certain it has something to do with the new Snippet Trigger Key system taking over for Snippet shortcuts. With the new Trigger Key shortcut set-up you can't have code highlighted, as you would for a wrapping snippet, or it will simply rewrite the code with your customized Trigger's text instead.

Apparently, the dev team (or more likely, their overlords) thought the Snippet Trigger Key system was more important than the Wrapping Snippet function.

It looks like you've already voted, but for anyone else who'd rather have the Wrapping Snippet function back, please make sure to vote here If we can get enough votes, maybe Adobe will find a way to put that extremely useful functionality back into the program.
