Got Tech? Will Hack.
Once you get used to the JetBrains suite of IDEs pressing Cmd/Ctrl+W for expanding selection becomes second nature. This leads to closing tabs on most applications such as text editors which is of little consequence since you can train yourself to use a different short cut.
My favourite text editor (Sublime Text) does not have this feature built in but it seems I’m not the only one who misses the expand region feature. Go grab your copy of ExpandRegion by Aron Woost from GitHub with full instructions on how to install on Windows, Linux and Mac.
