I’m working on a piece at the moment where there is a million beaming changes that the client wants notated as text above the staff, in brackets (e.g. notated (3+2) rather than 3+2.)
It would be really useful to have a paragraph style that would automatically bracket any text entered. I guess many could also use this type of thing for items like subtitles?

Perhaps crazy idea: record a macro like this.
- select a text object, hit Return
- now, not before, select Start Recording Macro
- assuming macOS, hit Cmd-leftArrow
- hit shortcut for desired open bracket glyph
- hit Cmd-rightArrow
- hit shortcut for desired close bracket glyph
- hit Escape
- select End Recording Macro and save with a creative name such as Add Parentheses to Text
It still reduces all these operations to a single click.
