Expand the current selection until it hits a whitespace boundary (port of expand_selection_to_paragraph
from Sublime Text). If you have this text:
line 1
line 2
line 3| <= cursor here
line 4
line 5
After running Select Paragraph, the selection will hold lines 2 through 4.
This extension contributes the command select-paragraph.selectParagraph
and the keybinding ctrl + p
.
