Selecting expressions between parens/braces/brackets

#1

Other text editors let me select a parenthesized expression by double-clicking either of the parentheses. Likewise an expression between curly braces or square brackets. Some editors include the delimiting punctuation in the selection, some only select the text inside the punctuation, and I believe I’ve seen some that offer a preference to choose between these two behaviors.

Is there a way to do this in Sublime Text? I did not see a setting for it in the default Settings.

ctrl+shift+m

One time for selecting text inside the delimiter, one more time to include delimiter.
And so on to expand to outer delimiter, like [xxx, (ggg, jjj)]
