I have a text, say:

Is there a shortcut in netbeans where the selected text can be surrounded by quotation marks?

If there is no macro by default, here is the macro code that will do what you want

caret-begin-word "'" caret-end-word "'"

or

caret-begin-word "\"" caret-end-word "\""

NOTE. This will only cover WORD in quotation marks. Not your choice.

You can also select what you want and just click ' or "to surround the selected part with quotes

Tested in NetBeans 7.2.1

Switch to

Tools->Options->Editor->Macros

and you will find a macro named quote-word

Just assign a shortcut to it, and you can use it to surround the word with quotation marks.
