How to select a statement?

[monax-owo]

I want to select a statement and enclose it in a block, but how can I do it in a helix-like way?

Is there an easier way, like mia?

for example:
console.log(“Hello”); -> {console.log(“Hello”);}

I don't think there is an easy way like mia, but you could use A-o (expand_selection) to "quickly" select (depending on where in the statement you are, hit A-o multiple times).

The quickest way here I guess would be f;A-o.

Thank you! It worked!
(Excuse me, but isn't it v;A-o?)

(Excuse me, but isn't it v;A-o?)

I noticed in your example that when the cursor is on the ";", you need just one A-o to select the whole statement. So I used f; to find the ;.

Really, thank you!
