Bracket Select

This is a simple plugin that support to quick select text between matched brackets. This plugin supports (), {}, [],"", '', and ``, and can not be customized. Unfortunally angle brackets <> are not supported due to RegEx being confused with math (l < 1). Really hope this plugin can help you!

Quick start

Just run command BraSel:Select or type alt+a to select text between brackets. If you wish to select more, just press it again.

If you slected more than you want, at anytime, just press Ctrl+U (Cursor Undo), you will bring the previous selections back.

bracket-select-animation

If you wish to select text including the brackets, just run BraSel:Select Include Brackets or type cmd+alt+a on mac and ctrl+alt+a on windows.

This plugin is works for multiple cursors now. bracket-select-animation
