Select whole line but cursor in the left in Visual Studio Code?

In visual studio code there is expandLineSelection command in keyboard shortcuts to select a whole line, and after trigger this, the cursor is in the next line,

enter image description here

Is there any way to select the whole line but the cursor is at the left most of the line?

Go to beginning of next line (Home) and hit

  1. Shift+Left (select the preceding newline)
  2. Shift+Home (select to the beginning)

If you really want it in one command, use the multi-command extension.

You can use extensions multi-command and Select By

Define a keybinding:

{
    "key": "alt+k",  // or any other combo
    "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
    "args": { 
        "sequence": [
            "expandLineSelection",
            "selectby.swapActive"
        ]
    }
}

You can use the same keyboard shortcut as defined for expandLineSelection
