Add parentheses around C-expression in Eclipse
Is there a way to select a C/C++ expression in Eclipse and put a bracket around it with a single keyboard shortcut? IDEs usually have this but I couldn't find a way in Eclipse.
For Java Code, there is a more or less good workaround described in Parentheses over selected words in Eclipse, but this does not work for C-Code - after bringing up the template list for the selection, the suggested templates are empty.

Shift+Alt+Z shows all templates that contain$line_selection, so you can make the template($line_selection)$cursorto select something and hit Shift+Alt+Z. Unfortunately, this does not work for multi-line selections because everything in the template in the line before$line_selectionwill be applied to each selected line.

That's what I'm looking for! Would it now additionally be possible to assign a shortcut key to this? I'm accustomed from other IDEs to press "SHIFT+(" and if a word is selected, the Editor puts the brackets in. Like pressing "/" on a selected line and it gets commented out! BTW. could you make this an answer so that I can mark the issue as solved?

As far as I know, exactly that is not possible. You might report it to Eclipse CDT as a feature request.
But as workaround a template like the following can be used:
($line_selection)$cursor
If you hit Shift+Alt+Z the Surround With Quick Menu shows all templates containing $line_selection and with a number key a templated can be selected.
The key Shift+Alt+Z can be changed, but unfortunately no key can be defined to select the template directly. Also unfortunately, this does not work for multi-line selections because everything in the template in the line before $line_selection will be applied to each selected line.
