How to make ctrl word end or start recognize underscore

Question

In vscode, ctrl + arrow will not stop at an underscore. Is there any way to change this behaviour, or is there a shortcut to select characters between two underscores?

(I have searched through available shortcuts and extensions but could not find any)

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you add the underscore to your wordSeparators in the setting Editor: Word Separators, then

1. Ctrl+rightArrow : move to the next word separator,

2. followed by another rightArrow to move after that underscore, then

3. Ctrl+Shift+rightArrow will select all word characters up to the next word separator, which might or might not be the next underscore - depends on your code.
