Oh how interesting. I saw you're screen recording and thought that was incorrect behavior because it didn't pivot the selection range (how this works in VS Code) but rather extended the range. But then I tested in Xcode and it works just as you did it.

I am definitely going to approve but I wonder if we introduce a setting to change this behavior.

Also, check out how this works in TextEdit... I really don't care for it. It is kind of like a hybrid between the two. Very strange.
