Select all by current scope

Provides a select_all_by_current_scope command, which (as the name suggests) select everything matching the current scope (that is the scope of your first cursor).

The command accepts an optional argument scope_must_match containing a regex string, which filters the long scope string to get a single scope name.

This plugin doesn't have any default keybindings. You have to assign them yourself.

Example keybindings

Selects everything matching current scope:

[
  {
    "keys": ["ctrl+alt+shift+a"],
    "command": "select_all_by_current_scope"
  }
]

Selects everything matching the first piece of current scope, which contains the word embedded:

[
  {
    "keys": ["ctrl+alt+shift+a"],
    "command": "select_all_by_current_scope",
    "args": { "scope_must_match": "embedded" }
  }
]

Usecase

Say you have a knitr/Sweave file with embedded R code. You might want to select all the R code. For that, I have the following keybinding:

[
  {
    "keys": ["ctrl+alt+shift+a"],
    "command": "select_all_by_current_scope",
    "args": { "scope_must_match": "embedded" }
    "context": [
      { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "source.r.embedded.knitr" }
    ]
  }
]

How about all the javascript code from an HTML file? Bold text from a Markdown file? That's matched by default:

[
  {
    "keys": ["ctrl+alt+shift+a"],
    "command": "select_all_by_current_scope"
  }
]
