I'm currently converting my thesis into LaTeX, and i have an issue: being an IT thesis, I have tons of code quotes.

The problem is not about the blocks of code: they are not that many and i can wrap them with {verbatim} tags. The problem is about the millions of inline single terms which should be formatted the same way.

Is there a way, for example, to define a macro or shortcut or whatever which, is i select one word and click it, automatically wraps it with {verbatim} (or equivalent) tags?

Hope I've been clear. This could really spare me hours of tedious work, thank You in advance!

    this is the job of (la)TeX editor, so what is your's? – touhami Jun 22 '15 at 01:17
  • Do you mean auto-conversion: when you type *, the editor automatically changes it into `\texttt{*}`? If so, I suppose that is not what this site handles, and if not, you should define a macro Andrew shows. – Merzong Jun 22 '15 at 04:57
  • An example of what I mean: i have this phrase "We inserted this into the code." What I would like to do is just selecting "" and pressing e.g. ctrl+something to wrap it, without writing myself anything. – prtnkl Jun 22 '15 at 12:22
  • To be more clear: writing \vrb instead of \begin{verbatim} is not a big advantage for me, I'd need to assign that to a keyboard shortcut. – prtnkl Jun 22 '15 at 12:25
  • You need to tell us what editor you are using as every one of them is different. –  Jun 22 '15 at 21:01
  • You're right, i forgot it. I am currently using Gummi, but I could change it if it's not good for this purpouse. I'm on an Ubuntu system. – prtnkl Jun 23 '15 at 14:01
  • Of course, you have already considered (and deemed inadequate for your needs) using the listings package, which, among many other features, also provides the \lstMakeShortInline command… – GuM Jun 23 '15 at 16:24
