Shortcut key for selecting a word and extending the selection in VS Code
keyboard-shortcuts, visual-studio-code
Solution
The shrink/expand selection commands should be what you are looking for. The command names are `editor.action.smartSelect.grow` (default keybinding shift+alt+right) and `editor.action.smartSelect.shrink` (default keybinding shift+alt+left).
Problem
In VS with Resharper, there's the command ctrlw that will select the whole word at cursor and then, when pressed repeatedly, extend the selection to the brackets, then include them too, then to the next outer brackets etc. What is the name of the command for that in Visual Studio Code?
