Select code block or paragraph in VS Code/R-CodePudding

I would like to select an R code block via a shortcut.

At the moment I am using CTRL L to select the current line and CTRL ALT UP/DOWN to expand the selection. This, however, is cumbersome.

Is there any way to tell VS Code to select everything in a paragraph?

Example:

library(dplyr)

starwars %>% 
  filter(species == "Droid")

starwars %>% 
  |mutate(name, bmi = mass / ((height / 100)  ^ 2)) %>% # <- The cursor is where "|" is for example
  select(name:mass, bmi)

This is what should be selected in this example:

starwars %>% 
  mutate(name, bmi = mass / ((height / 100)  ^ 2)) %>%
  select(name:mass, bmi)

To select the block from anywhere, you also need a macro extension like
