Vscodevim replicates the functionality of the surround-vim plugin, which means it provides a couple of operators to deal with surrounding.

In your case, ys should help you. On a visual selection, ys" will add quotes.

Adding quotes with a visual selection still seems to not work, but it's very possible I'm doing it wrong. What did work for me is 1) individual words with `ysw"`, 2) multiple words with `ys3w"`, 3) with your cursor inside a word with `ysaw"`, and 4) things like surrounding until the end of the line with `ys$"`. – rpearce Jun 05 '23 at 10:15

Hi the extension in VS Code works for me; the syntax is:

y s <motion> <desired>

So one example would be:

ysw"

Note that motion will define what is surrounded. Therefore you can write

ysiw"
