I’ve fantasised about taking keyboard word selection further, I’d like the
same keyboard shortcut to do a little more if the word was already
>selected<.
Specifically I’d like it to attempt to expand to inside (then around) the
next closest pair of delimiters (<[{“"''"”}]>), a “selection expander” e.g.
before:
"Mary P>o<ppins"
after:
"Mary >Poppins<"
after:
">Mary Poppins<"
after:
>"Mary Poppins"<
and so on…
Some time ago I made a start on attempting this, but sadly didn’t get very
far.
