I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and I am using the PHP programming language. I am selecting a variable but it only selects the variable name, not the *$* symbol.

**By default it selects like this:**

[![Selection of variable name without dollar sign](https://i.stack.imgur.com/khaPB.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/khaPB.png)

**But I want it like this:**

[![Selection of variable name with dollar sign](https://i.stack.imgur.com/tyqgT.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/tyqgT.png)

Is there any setting that enables this behavior?

Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
