Version 1.0.0 of package Expand-Region has just been released in GNU ELPA.
You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Expand-Region describes itself as:
===========================================
Increase selected region by semantic units.
===========================================
More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/expand-region.html
## Summary:
Expand region increases the selected region by semantic units. Just keep
pressing the key until it selects what you want.
An example:
(setq alphabet-start "abc def")
With the cursor at the `c`, it starts by marking the entire word `abc`, then
expand to the contents of the quotes `abc def`, then to the entire quote
`"abc def"`, then to the contents of the sexp `setq alphabet-start "abc def"`
and finally to the entire sexp.
You can set it up like this:
(require 'expand-region)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-=") 'er/expand-region)
There's also `er/contract-region` if you expand too far.
