Feature Request: Select entire text inside quotes

#1

hi,

this should be helpful for me imho specially when dealing with strings with spaces, i dont know about the others though.
i noticed alt+click does not have something assigned to it :smiley: just a suggestion though.

thanks & more power,
carlos

The BracketHighlighter plugin has that functionality (plus a lot more).

First, make sure your cursor is between the quotes in question, then do one of the following:

]Press SUPER+SHIFT+B followed by SUPER+SHIFT+S/]
]Press SUPER+SHIFT+P to bring up the Command Palette, type ‘Bracket’ and then select ‘Select Bracket Content’/]

If you don’t like the default key mappings, you can redefine them just like you would any other key mapping. I use BracketHighlighter’s ‘Swap Quotes’ a lot, and have remapped it to SUPER+CTRL+ALT+’, which on my keyboard is extremely easy to do.
