Selecting block of code in Visual Studio Code

Question

Is there a keyboard shortcut or an extension that would allow me to select a block of code? I\'d like to select everything between curly braces, between html tags, etc.

Answer 1

A quicker way is selecting a line then expanding the selection like this:

1. Select line
   ctrl + L
2. Expand selection
   alt + shift + →

Doing this inside a block(html element, javascript curly braces) will select the inner block(html element content, inside curly braces). Do step 2 again to select block including the container(html element, whole function, class, etc...)
