Smart grow feature #2150
Description
Extension Version
2.37.5
Problem Statement
editor.action.smartSelect.grow (Shift + Option + Right) feature does not determine syntax units/tokens correctly.
Expected User Experience
I expect a cursor to grow by unit. So first it grows to the whole word, then to the inner quote, then to the outer quote and then to the whole line.
Now it grows to the whole word (treating - and _ as word separators), and then the whole line.
So I can not select my_nice-word using Shift + Option + Right
Proposal
No response
