selectWord README

Adds the "selectWord" (extension.selectWord) action to vscode which will select the word under the cursor. selectWord also supports multi-cursor, which results in multiple selected words.

By default, selectWord is bound to Cmd+Alt+W on OSX and Ctrl+Alt+W on all other platforms.

Note: Many people change the keybinding to Ctrl+W (or Cmd+W), but to avoid conflicting behaviour, you need to first remove the exiting Ctrl+W (or Cmd+W) keybindings which close the editor window.
