The escape sequences are esc[[esc and esc]]esc. But you I prefer to
add a keystroke for that. I use "Ctrl <" to produce the opening and
closing double bracket and to position the cursor between the brackets.
To do that, open the Mathematica file KeyEventTranslations.tr in an
editor and add this code:
Item[KeyEvent["<",Modifiers->{Control}],
FrontEndExecute[{FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`SelectedNotebook[],
"\[LeftDoubleBracket]\[RightDoubleBracket]",After],
FrontEndToken["MovePrevious"]}]]
WARNING: Be careful when changing this file. Make a copy of it before
altering. If you made an error (e.g. missing a comma) Mathematica will
not start.
