Answer 1

Create a snippet:

Then create a keybinding to call that snippet in your Preferences -> KeyBindings - User file:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+z"], "command": "insert_snippet", "args": { "name": "Packages/User/Snippets/test_snippets/regex_whitespace.sublime-snippet" } },

Then, select text on a line, or multiple lines, and use the keymap.
