Description

It will be great if you add two options to add additional text for the selected layers. I'm writing about append and prepend.

Eg. I have a layer with text michael.freeman and I want to add @email.com = michael.freeman@email.com

or

Michael Freeman + prepend My name is = My name is Michael Freeman

Also it will be great to have the ability to add numbers %N Eg. Michael Freeman + %N. = 1. Michael Freeman

Thank you.

Best! Ivan

Research direction
Explore the existing codebase to understand how text layers are handled and how the plugin's UI is structured. Look for files related to text replacement. Implement a new feature to append or prepend strings, including a variable for numbering (%N). Consider adding options in the plugin's settings or a dialog.
