Description
Hey guys, love the idea of using vim in vscode!
Would it be possible atm to implement something similar to vim's wildfire plugin? It expands the visual selection according to next recognized text objects, searching in order of a configurable list.
I use it so much I actually cant use vim anywhere that doesn't support it, just breaks my concentration.
