🧠 Select Better

Select smarter, not harder.

Select Better is a lightweight Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to quickly select intelligent text ranges under your cursor — including:

• ✅ Full URLs (with or without Markdown wrapping)
• ✅ Emails
• ✅ Localhost URLs and IPs (e.g., http://localhost:3000)
• ✅ Extended variable names (some_variable-name)
• ✅ Fallback to normal word selection when nothing matches

🚀 Features

• 🔍 One shortcut to rule them all
• 🎯 Detects and highlights the entire semantic unit under your cursor
• 🧠 Automatically trims trailing punctuation from Markdown or inline links
• 💻 Lightweight and fast — no dependencies or heavy tooling

✨ Usage

1. Move your cursor into or onto:
   • A URL like https://github.com/user/repo)
   • An email like someone@example.com
   • A variable like some-variable_name
2. Press the keyboard shortcut:
   • Mac: Ctrl + Option + Shift + U
   • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + U
3. The full match will be selected automatically

🛠️ Customization

You can change the keyboard shortcut by editing your keybindings in VSCode:

{
  "key": "cmd+option+shift+u",
  "command": "select-better.selectedExtendedWord",
  "when": "editorTextFocus"
}
