Expand selection with inner tag selection command

[eddiemf]

Hello everyone!

I come from Sublime Vintage mode context, and I was very used to type vit to select the inner content of a tag, which works in VSCode Vim, but when I typed it again and again in sublime it would keep expanding the selection up, which doesn't happen in VSCode Vim.

Is there anyway to achieve this behavior?

Thanks in advance!

af should achieve what you want, you can remap it to af in visual mode if you want as well

Hello, @xconverge!

Actually it didn't really work, sometimes it goes crazy and selects a huge chunk of tags (maybe when there's php together), and with only HTML it simply does nothing. I've tested with the following snippet:

<div>
  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>Lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet orrupti debitis error!</p>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div> 

Hitting vit selects all the content inside the tag the cursor is in. Hitting vaf or vit + af does nothing at all :(

Also thanks for the link, didn't know about that one, will be very useful as I'm not the most vim power user.
