This is a tiny tool that implements a Mac OS X Service (a few menu items in the "Services" submenu of the application menu) that can wrap the selected text in parentheses, square brackets, quote a range of text (escaping backslashes and quotes) or create an NSString constant declaration from an identifier and place it on the clipboard for pasting.

The way I use this service is that I give its menu items keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences -> Keyboard.

System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.7, Intel Mac.
