How to select all things inside brackets in Intellij idea?

I'd like to know how to select text between curly brackets, with just two or three shortcut keys.

E.g.: If I have code like this:

System.out.println("Hello World");

only the text "Hello World" should be selected.

Based on documentation, you can use:

On Windows/Linux

Ctrl+W / Ctrl+Shift+W

On MacOS

⌥↑ / ⌥↓

Each subsequent call to the shortcut selects an increasing range of code (or decreasing, for second shortcut).
