[Feature request] Select block of code when jumping

[Kilo19]

In the Atom version, if you already have selection under cursor, Jumpy would select a block of code from that selection to the destination of your jump. Would you consider adding that feature in the VS Code version as well?

I just found this plugin and love it. I'm coming from IntelliJ where I had a plugin (can't remember the name) that was like this except that it allowed you to type to jump - kind of like Find Jump (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mksafi.find-jump). The best option, though, was being able to type, jump, and automatically select the word that you're jumping to for quick replace. Or, combined with the cmd+d capability in vscode, quickly also select other instances of the same word without lifting your hands from the keyboard... I'd love to see this feature happen!

MetaGo also has jump with selection, but just like Find Jump, it requires me to type a few letters to narrow down the choice. I'd like an extension that does not require me to do that (which is why I love jumpy on Atom), because it is faster for me. My eyes are already set on the place to jump to before I issue the command, so typing to filter is a waste of time for me.

@Kilo19 @newtmitch You can use Jump instead, it supports this feature.

@Kilo19 See my last msg on this issue: https://github.com/wmaurer/vscode-jumpy/issues/18#issuecomment-1029475714

Basically, I've implemented "Jumpy2" for VS Code: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DavidLGoldberg.jumpy2
