Automate selection with one keyboard shortcut

Open kanlukasz opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

Hello Nice add-on, but there are too many keyboard shortcuts.

Can you make one shortcut for all options? I mean some automation, e.g .:

  • If I'm between " ", it will select everything between " "
  • if { } is next to it, then it will also select everything between { }

Looking for this too, I'd like a smart hotkey

Edit: looks like this is already built-in in VSCode, see the editor.action.smartSelect.grow command

This shortcut does not use resources/functions from the plugin, so it will not be able to handle all delimiters in proper way

Any update on this? Would like to have the Atom MacOS "select all between matching brackets" functionality with command+ctrl+m.

I honestly don't think it will be added. I currently use Bracket Select which works fine. You can try
