Expand and shrink selection around JavaScript `if-elseif-else` statements

Acknowledgement

Comment

I am unsure if this is a bug or a feature request.

The expand and shrink selection does not work as expected around if-elseif-else statments.

    const a = 1;
    if (a === 1) {
      // foo
    } else if (a === 2) {
      // fii
    } else {
      // fum
    }

Actual behavior

Place the cursor between else if and try to expand selection. It expands like this.

Start

Middle (few more expansions needed to get here)

End (only one more expansion from the one above)

Expected behavior

I expected it to select it like this, starting from Middle above:

Riproduci il comportamento segnalato di espansione e riduzione della selezione in VS Code utilizzando l'esempio JavaScript con if/else-if/else dell'issue. Confronta gli intervalli di selezione effettivi e previsti mostrati negli screenshot, quindi traccia il comportamento di selezione dell'editor per determinare il punto di ingresso interessato. Il lavoro è completato quando la selezione si espande e si riduce attraverso la struttura condizionale come previsto.
