VSCode shortcut to select the block of code between two brackets/parentheses?

Question

I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut which selects the block of code between two parentheses or brackets or squarebrackets compared to the cursor position.

Example:

const object = {
  ifTheCursorIs: 'anywhere between the bracket above',
  andTheBracketBelow: 'it should select all everything between them',
}

//so if I press the shortcut, then press backspace,
const object = {}
//should remain

For mac users, the short answer is:

Use ctrl + shift + → to expand selection between braces or tags,

Use ctrl + shift + ← to shrink selection between braces or tags.
