Multi caret selection to a given character/word
Answered
Is there a way how to make selections from each caret to the next occurrence of a given character or word?
Eg. from the three carets at the beginning of a line to the colon character (:) in each line

Just to be clear - I know how to create multiple carets, but I do not know how to make the selection based on a character/word. For a single caret instance, I would use the AceJump plugin, but that does not work for multiple carets.

Hi Petr,
There is no such functionality in IntelliJ IDEA out of the box I'm afraid.
You can either submit a new feature request for it to our issue tracker or ask the author of AceJump to introduce the functionality in their plugin.
Hi Arina,
thanks for your response. I figured, that it's actually possible using the IdeaVim plugin. Not sure that I'll use it, but it's good to know that there is at least some way if needed.
