I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and I am using the PHP programming language. I am selecting a variable but it only selects the variable name, not the $ symbol.
By default it selects like this:
But I want it like this:
Is there any setting that enables this behavior?
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You need to remove the $
symbol from the editor.wordSeparators
directive. This is the default value:
// Characters that will be used as word separators when doing word related navigations or operations.
"editor.wordSeparators": "`~!@#$%^&*()-=+[{]}\\|;:'\",.<>/?",
You can make this language specific if you want, so it only applies to PHP.
