`Ctrl+W` 's ability to expand the selection area needs to be enhanced.

This extension is great. Thank you for your contribution.

But I found that there are still some deficiencies. In IDEA, the selection of regions should be gradually increased, rather than including the entire row directly at once.

@lartpang Thanks. That is true. I'm using the VSCode standard features editor.action.smartSelect.grow and their behavior seems to be different from IntelliJ. There's nothing I can do about it at this time 😭

Well, thank you anyway.

same question, pity and in my vscode, ctrl+w is close window. not the editor.action.smartSelect.grow

You can modify your keymap. ⌨️

ctrl+w is working, but still different from IntelliJ

I added this to ">Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (ctrl+k, ctrl+s) and now the selection works like in JetBrains IDEA 🎉

    {
        "key": "ctrl+w",
        "command": "editor.action.addSelectionToNextFindMatch",
        "when": "editorFocus && !editorHasSelection"
    },
