what I want is to make a function to do this:

    class="btn btn-lg"  ->  class={`btn btn-lg`}

basically replace the first  `"`

    " -> {`

and then second `"`

    " -> `}

edit: fixed formatting

Do a macro for it :)

Unless this is something you're going to need long-term, I'd use a
keyboard macro or a regexp search+replace.

If you really want a function, give more details.  Is this only for
`class` attributes?  What position (or range of positions) can point
be at when you call the function?  What if there are multiple such
attributes on the line?

this should work on only current line, regardless of class or any
other attribute.
