keyboard shortcuts - Select everything between matching brackets in VS Code

Question

Is there in VS Code a shortcut available which selects all code between matching brackets? E.g. in Atom, this shortcut is ctrl+alt+m.

Answer 1

Place the cursor inside the bracket (not directly next to a bracket) and execute editor.action.smartSelect.grow until everything inside the bracket is selected. The default shortcut is Shift+Alt+Right (or Ctrl+Shift+Right on Mac).

You can shrink the selection with editor.action.smartSelect.shrink which has the default shortcut Shift+Alt+Left (or Ctrl+Shift+Left on Mac).
