What did you do?

Let's say I have this code:

  images: images[0],
  imAge: image,
  selectedImage: images.selectedImage,

My cursor is on images
And I use gb

What did you expect to happen?

I expected that it would step by step select all 3 occurences of images in my code

What happened instead?

It selected image, (yes! comma too)
It also ignores letter case (ignorecase is false) so it selects imAge: Image: etc...
