IntellijClicks

A VS Code extension that enhances selection behavior to mimic IntelliJ's smart selection capabilities, particularly for paired characters like brackets and quotes.

Features

  • Smart selection of content within paired characters:
    • Brackets: (), [], {}, <>
    • Quotes: "", '', ````
  • Bidirectional scanning with nesting awareness
  • Configurable timing for click detection
  • Seamless integration with VS Code's selection system

Usage

Double-click near paired characters to select their inner content including the paired chars:

▽
 (foo, bar)
 └────────┘

▽
 "hello world"
 └───────────┘

Configuration

This extension can be customized through VS Code settings:

{
  // Interval between clicks in milliseconds
  "intellijClicks.clicksInterval": 600,

  // Delay after triggering selection to prevent conflicts
  "intellijClicks.triggerDelay": 150,

  // Enable/disable character pair selection
  "intellijClicks.rules.character-pair": true
}
