On option+shift+arrow keys selection clojure comment's behaviour is different than expected

[pratik97]

option+left arrow moves cursor to a word left, so I’d expect option+shift+left arrow to move the cursor to a word left and select everything between current cursor’s position and the new position.

This happens for clojure code, but not in the comments.

This works the same in comments as it does for Clojure code for me. 🤔 What version of Calva are you using?

[pratik97]

I am on the latest version(v2.0.321) and it's still happening for me. If I have a code like this
;; foo |bar
where | is a cursor position, if I do option+command+left arrow, it doesn't select foo and a space. Cursor also doesn't move for me.

if I do option+command+left arrow, it doesn't select foo and a space

Did you mean option+shift+leftArrow? I can reproduce that issue. I also noticed that option+shift+rightArrow does select, but to the end of the next form (not just the end of the comment).

@PEZ Could there be an issue with a when context here? I'm not sure what behavior Calva intends to provide.
