I'm using GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (GUI version) on Mac OS X 10.11.1 with Evil mode and installed evil-surround through the built-in package manager of Emacs.

Now, I can add all surroundings, for example, surround a word by / with viwS/.

However, changing and deleting surroundings works only with certain types of surroundings, for example, ", ', ), ], but not with /, *, = (which are used in org-mode).

If I move the cursor, for example, on the text /word/, and type ds/, then after typing ds the word delete appears in the minibuffer, but then upon typing / the minibuffer is emptied, but nothing changes in the surrounded word, i.e. the / are still there.

Does anyone know how to fix this, i.e. allow surroundings like /, *, = to work properly?

Installing the packages embrace and evil-embrace fixes the problem. After that you must define new pairs with embrace. I have

(use-package embrace
    :ensure embrace)
(use-package evil-embrace
    :ensure evil-embrace)
(evil-embrace-enable-evil-surround-integration)
(setq evil-embrace-show-help-p nil)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
    (lambda ()
        (embrace-add-pair ?a "`" "'")
        (embrace-add-pair ?e "\\emph{" "}")))

    Great. To add the common org-mode surrounding pairs to org-mode, it's enough to add the line (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'embrace-org-mode-hook).
