Visual Studio Code shortcut equivalent to Webstorm / IntelliJ Extend Selection - intellij-idea

Question

I've grown accustomed to Webstorm's "Extend Selection" shortcut which grows the selection to the next special character.
Example (if the cursor is somewhere in the "someObjectProperty"and the shortcut is activated):
var foo = someObject.someObjectProperty.subProperty;
<-- selection 1 -->
<------ selection 2 --------->
<-------------- selection 3 ------------>
Now that I've switched to Visual Studio Code, the closest to that type of shortcut I've found is 'editor.action.smartSelect.grow' shortcut
However, while it is similar, it's not the same. Using the same example (if the cursor is somewhere in the "someObjectProperty" and the shortcut is activated):
var foo = someObject.someObjectProperty.subProperty;
<---------------- selection 1 -------------->
<------------------- selection 2 ------------------>
Is there anything similar in VS Code as the Extend Selection in WebStorm as described above?

Answer 1

While there is no such shortcut/command that comes with VS Code there is third party extension that can be easily installed:
ext install expand-region

Answer 2

There's still no such thing, the third party plugins are nowhere near what Webstorm/Idea does, here's an incomplete visual gap analysis on how they can't be mentioned on the same page.

Answer 3

The Feature you're looking for is called shrink-expand-selection.
It works by using:
ALT + SHIFT + → to select the next sections
ALT + SHIFT + ← to select the previous sections
It works as follows for your example (imagine the cursor being on the j of someObjectProperty):
var foo = someObject.someObjectProperty.subProperty;
<-S1-> (This section exists because of camelCase)
<- S2 ->
<- S3 ->
<- S4 ->
<- S5 ->
