    What you could do is to use Emmet shortcuts to write speed up your code writing.

    Things like:
    p>{hello world} will expand to <p>Hello world</p>

    And then:
    em>{world} will become <em>world</em>

    If you want to do all together:
    p>{hello}+em>{world} which will be then expanded to <p>hello<em>world</em></p>

    • select the text world
    • use the command Emmet: Wrap with Abbreviation
    • type em and Enter

    If you need to do it often with the same abbreviations you can use an extension I wrote: Recently Used. In the extension settings you can predefine abbreviations.
