How to find previous word at caret using one stroke? Follow

Created May 28, 2016 16:24

Hi!

Many editors support this important functionality - Find Next / Previous word at caret – however, I did not find such keystroke in WebStorm 11.

I know about Ctrl+F3 and Shift+F3 but I’m looking for just one keystoke.

Anyway, is it possible to write a reliable macro – without side affects - that will repeat required behavior that I’m looking for?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'd suggest trying BrowseWordAtCaret plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/?id=201) - does it work for you?

Done.

Unfortunately, it does not. That plugin is helpful but does not count current selection.

For instance, I select “x =” and I need to quickly go to the previous occurrence of that selection. Alas, BrowseWordAtCaret works with words only, which actually does not cover all my needs.
