This extension overrides several VSCode default hotkeys, like CTRL+ALT+RIGHT
hotkey which is bound to workbench.action.moveEditorToNextGroup
command (as of VSCode 1.10.2).
If you'd like to use a different hotkey refer to Visual Studio Code's Key Bindings Customization article. All the contributed commands starts with selectPartOfWord
.
Please note that this extension is in rather early stage of development.
This extension is fully open source, available at https://github.com/mlewand/vscode-select-part-of-word.
