Shortcut to select/highlight variable name

Before the JMP16 Name() parser change for variable names (examples shown below), the Ctl+ ] keyboard shortcut would highlight/select the entire variable name and the bounding ().  This was very convenient for copying/pasting variable names in my JSL code.  Does a similar or new keyboard shortcut exist that does the same thing but for the newly constructed variable name?  That is, highlight/select the newly constructed variable names bounded by either the quotes or the leading quote and trailing "n?  In the absence of a keyboard shortcut, does anyone have any suggestions for how to accomplish this?

 

"taxable income( 2011 )"n = 456000;
tax = .25;
Print( tax * "taxable income( 2011 )"n) ;
//114000

Re: Shortcut to select/highlight variable name

I don't think this is possible. You could create a wish list item for this. 

 

I don't generally use variable names like that but to make the selection a bit faster you can use combination of Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right arrow (and Shift + End/Home + Ctrl + Left/Right Arrow).
