Selecting text code visualstudio with hot key

I installed code visualstudio 1.54.1 and having some line of code if cursor is located on string

   $adImageItemImgProps = AdImage::readAdImageProps($adImageItem->ad_id, $adImageItem->image, true);

inside of readAdImageProps method name, but when no chars selected and clicking hot key all readAdImageProps method name is selected and next clicking hot key AdImage::readAdImageProps is selected. and so on...

In similar way in PhpStorm work hot keys Ctrl+W...

MODIFIED : I manually added proposed key lines in /home/username/.config/Code/User/keybindings.json and see in the file : https://prnt.sc/10lc240 I restarted code visualstudio and "ctrl+shift+alt+w" and this function works in not way I expect. Say I have in control php file with no test selected : https://prnt.sc/10lc53f

When I click "ctrl+shift+alt+w" - it works as I expect only for the first time : https://prnt.sc/10lc77h But not next time when I clcik trhis hot key : https://prnt.sc/10lc7w0 and https://prnt.sc/10lc8xr Is something wrong in my config ?

Thanks!

You can use the extension Select By

It is a 2 phase solution.

  1. If no selection yet use the command editor.action.addSelectionToNextFindMatch to select the word under the cursor
  2. If selection then extend at the begin to the next parent scope

Ad this to your keybindings.json file

  {
    "key": "ctrl+shift+alt+w",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorHasSelection",
    "command": "editor.action.addSelectionToNextFindMatch"
  },
  {
    "key": "ctrl+shift+alt+w",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && editorHasSelection",
    "command": "selectby.regex",
    "args": {
      "backward": "[a-zA-Z0-9_]+::",
      "backwardInclude": true
    }
  }

Edit

I removed the forward search because it was taken care of by the no-selection case.
