How can I expand multi-line selection to full lines in PHPStorm (IntelliJ IDEA)?


In Sublime Text I can arbitrarily select a set of lines and then use ⌘+L to expand the selection to the full lines. Is there a similar command in PHPStorm / WebStorm? (I'd like to map that command to a keyboard shortcut.)

I know PHPStorm has the option "Select Line at Caret", but that selects only one line.

    Nowadays (welcome 2020) Go to Preferences > Keymap. Change or add the value to Add Carets to Ends of Selected Lines => CMD+SHIFT+L to have it behave like Sublime Text so it looks like

    Old Answer This is as close as I could get it (before 2020):

    Go to Preferences > Keymap. Search for Clone Caret Above/Below.

    On a Mac, it looks like this enter image description here

    The keys are:

    CMD+SHIFT+CTRL+ARROW_UP for Clone Caret Above

    CMD+SHIFT+CTRL+ARROW_DOWN for Clone Caret Below

    Click on Apply and it will work
