One thing I miss the most from Xcode is the ability to double-click on any delimiter pair ([...], (...), <...>, {...}) to select all text between those delimiters.

I filed an issue against VSCode to get this implemented, but it never got enough upvotes..

Maybe posting about it here is my chance to get it done? :-P

Not quite what you're asking for, but you can click after the first bracket and then use the "Go to bracket" command to get roughly the same thing. You'll have to add a keybind for it though, there isn't one by default.

For slightly more control, you can also use alt+shift+right (or left) to expand/contract your selection to the matching bracket.
