[TxMt] Select and Replace: magic needed....

Dear All,

Many years ago, in a state of innocence, I hard-coded my LaTeX quotation marks.

> Thus I have text that `looks like this'.

I now find that it would have been MUCH better (if not essential) to have done:

> Thus I have text that \enquote{looks like this}

I can't do a search and replace, because there is no algorithm that
will get the quotes right, but I would like to be able to do the
following:

1. Select the text that needs changing with the mouse

2. Hit a key and have the text changed to the \enquote version.

I feel like this ought to be the sort of thing that TextMate excels
at.  How should I do it?

Very best wishes,

Nicholas
