Select all text between quotes/brackets?

[Kaske]

BracketHighlighter allows you to select strings without quotes or brackets. I think it is by default some goofy sequence like ["ctrl+shift+b", "ctrl+shift+s"], but you can change it something sensible. This was when I was still providing shortcuts in my plugins (there are so many shortcuts now it is hard to find free ones).

Thanks, man, a bit cumbersome for such a simple feature but it works.

If I was doing it now, I would have provided no shortcuts and let the user define them. It is goofy only because all other shortcuts were taken. The only good ones are ["alt+up"] and ["alt+down"] which jumps you between tags, brackets, or quotes.

But you can always override the default jump between brackets to use this one.

I noticed a strange behaviour:

When I use Ctrl + Shift + Space inside an ID (inside quotes) it selects the word without quotes (just as I think is the most natural way of selection). But when I do the same inside a class it selects both the name and quotes.

Now, BracketHighlighter is one solution, but still it offers too many things I don't won't to have just for the sake of simple inside-quote selection.

Yeah, noticed something similar as well.

ctrl+shift+space with the cursor on the last char will select the ". Works fine with the first char.

Example

var $foo = "text he|re"; => text here
var $foo = "|text here"; => text here
var $foo = "text here|"; => text here"

Plugin for selection inside quotes, completely analogous to behaviour of builtin bracket selection, is here if anyone still need it...

Hi, I have tried to find a way to select the characters within curly braces in VI mode.
The command I write is "vi{" (exactly: v i AltGr+7 )
But the result I get is that all the characters from my cursor and back to first linebreak.
If I use the sublime command ctrl-alt-m it works great, but I would rather use the VI command, vi then character.

Can you guys try this out and see if you have the same issue. Or am I alone?

EDIT:
Forgot to mention I am using ST2 2.0.1
