Select all text between quotes in VS Code?

As @Mark says in the comment, you can use the "select block of text" shortcut, this will first select everything between the quotes.

The shortcut:
Shift + Alt +


Try using the Quick and Simple Text Selection extension.

On a Mac, the extension's default shortcut is k, "

  1. Press and k
  2. let go of of and k
  3. press "

This will select everything in double quotes.

If you want to select everything in single quotes use k, "

It also works for brackets

  • k, [
  • k, {
  • k, (

On Windows, replace with Ctrl
