When I first installed wrap-region, I used to install things via the classic M-x and package-install. Then, I inserted the following configuration:

;; Emacs minor mode to wrap region with tag or punctuations
(wrap-region-mode 1)
(wrap-region-add-wrapper "*" "*")
(wrap-region-add-wrapper "/" "/")
(wrap-region-add-wrapper "=" "=")

This used to work out. Now, I have moved to a new machine and I have not used classic installation yet (M-x and package-install).

I want to do everything via use-package.

I am especially unsure about how to make the mode globally enabled.

This is my first attempt:

(use-package wrap-region
  :ensure t
  :config
    (wrap-region-mode 1)
    (wrap-region-add-wrapper "*" "*")
    (wrap-region-add-wrapper "/" "/")
    (wrap-region-add-wrapper "=" "="))

The wrapper expressions (function call with wrap-region-add-wrapper) are working as expected.

However, the mode is not being globally enabled when Emacs starts.

How would you convert the declaration previously mentioned to a complete use-package declarative installation?

    I am especially unsure about how to handle the expressions creating the "pattern-matching" - what pattern matching are you talking about? Not clear to me (but I know close to nothing about use-package OR wrap-region - so it's not clear to me whether it refers to use-package or wrap-region -or neither - or both).

    As for expecting it to be globally enabled, why would it? Isn't that what wrap-region-global-mode is for?

    (wrap-region-global-mode 1) should do the global enablement. Do C-h f wrap-region-mode and C-h f wrap-region-global-mode for more details. See Defining minor modes for additional insight: do C-h i g(elisp) RET m defining minor modes to get there.

    I think "pattern-matching" is a bad term for that.

    AFAICT, it's a wrap-region thing and they call it a wrapper, so why not call it that?

After @NickD's help, I realized there was a missing word of global on wrap-region-mode.

The correct is:

(wrap-region-global-mode 1)

And the final expression:

(use-package wrap-region
  :ensure t
  :config
    (wrap-region-global-mode 1)
    (wrap-region-add-wrapper "*" "*")
    (wrap-region-add-wrapper "/" "/")
    (wrap-region-add-wrapper "=" "="))
