Hey @shellwhale, we don't currently advertise support of selection expansion in terraform-ls, so we don't currently provide this feature.

We can add this to the list of thing to support. Can you go into further detail about the use cases where expanding the selection will help? For example, in wanting to copy an entire block to past soemwhere else?

Hello @jpogran, yes, copying or moving a block is the main reason. But that's not all, it would be easier for code actions (ctrl+;), quick fixes, and the most recent modify using copilot.
