## Features

* Support for unicode characters.

* Support for multiple selections.

### Default Hotkeys

Hotkey | Description

---|---

`CTRL+ALT+RIGHT` | Move caret to the next word

`CTRL+ALT+LEFT` | Move caret to the previous word

`CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+RIGHT` | Expands selection to the next word

`CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+LEFT` | Expands selection to the previous word

`CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE` | Removes previous word

`CTRL+ALT+DELETE` (`CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+DELETE` on Windows) | Removes next word

### Hotkeys Customization

This extension overrides several VSCode default hotkeys, like `CTRL+ALT+RIGHT` hotkey which is bound to `workbench.action.moveEditorToNextGroup` command (as of VSCode 1.10.2).

If you'd like to use a different hotkey refer to [Visual Studio Code's Key Bindings Customization](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings#_keyboard-shortcuts-editor) article. All the contributed commands starts with `selectPartOfWord`.
