A quick BBEdit question

I went out on a limb and purchased BBEdit 8. I like that it can detect and color-code LaTeX markup, but what I'd really like to do is set up a keystroke which surrounds any selected text with \( and \). I have TeXShop's editor hacked to do this, but I'm not as familiar with BBEdit. Can anyone out there help me?

UPDATE: Thanks to John Gruber and Chris Corwin for emailing me the answer. As John Gruber pointed out,

If you create a glossary item with this line:
\(#select#\)
You'll have exactly what you want. You can set a keyboard shortcut for any Glossary item using the Glossary palette, accessible via the Window menu.
I'll try that out. Thank goodness for the blogosphere!
