    v a ( S {

    1. jesus it's hard to type vim expressions on my phone - it's such a different kind of muscle memory. I don't really have this memorized - I literally think "v-select around parens, shift-s-wrap with curly braces" and my fingers just do it. vim is a language which is ultimately easier on the brain than a bunch of random hotkeys to memorize.

    2. this selects the current paranthesized expression and wraps it in curly braces. you can replace ( and { with whatever text objects you like. and you can swap a for i if you want to nest instead.

    this might require a plugin, though.
