# vscode-quick-select

Yes I know about the ⌃⇧⌘← and ⌃⇧⌘→ expand/shrink selection. Having come from VIM I think these are still missing.

It now supports multilines automatic selection, matching correctly.

**NEW:** you can also now toggle single/double quotes

See the examples below.

## Installation

Press F1 and narrow down the list commands by typing `extension`. Pick `Extensions: Install Extension`.
Select the `Quick and Simple Text Selection` extension from the list

```sh
cd $HOME/.vscode/extensions

![singlequotes](https://github.com/dbankier/vscode-quick-select/raw/master/screens/singlequotes.gif)

**NEW:** You can also use this following shortcut to select either single, double quotes or backticks

⌘k ;

**NEW:** You can also use this following shortcut to toggle quotes, e.g. `"word"` to `'word'`

⌘k :

⌘k `

![singlequotes](https://github.com/dbankier/vscode-quick-select/raw/master/screens/backticks.gif)

⌘k ( and
⌘k [ and
⌘k {

Using the following performs and outer selection:

⌘k ) and
⌘k ] and
⌘k }

Or if you have already made in inner selection, use the same key combination again to expand to an outer selection.

⌘k <

This also selects the matching tag.

⌘k >

This matches the tag value.
