Inside a pair of argument parentheses and want to quickly select a specific argument or the whole lot between the parentheses? Try Jetbrains IDEs' Extend/Shrink

Inside a pair of argument parentheses and want to quickly select a specific argument or the whole lot between the parentheses? Try Jetbrains IDEs' Extend/Shrink Selection (Ctrl + W / Ctrl + Shift + W) feature.
You can also use it in other places and the IDE can evolve the selections smartly based on ASTs.
- db1 5y agoI use the IdeaVIM plugin. I do "vib" (visual inside braces) to select everything within the parentheses. Added benefit of it works in lots of other places as well (terminal etc).
- RyEgswuCsn 5y agoYes, vim does has something similar. One advantage the IDE's implementation has is that the user doesn't have to explicitly specify the constructs --- it doesn't have to be parentheses or a word, but any construct that "wraps around" the cursor; so it's less effort for the mind.
