]a followed by Alt-i selects left bracket of arguments.

[human154]

Summary

In Rust, ]a followed by Alt-i selects the left bracket enclosing the arguments.

The bracket being selected seems to be a glitch, as it's not a sub-portion of the initial ]a selection (of the argument and type).

Maybe it would be good to have ]a select the argument name only, instead of the type declaration as well? Then Alt-o could be used to enclose the type as well, if desired.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

(In Rust) If I want to select the name of the first argument of a function a few lines below my current location:

]a jumps and selects the first argument name and type of the next function....

Then typing Alt-i, (attempting to select just the argument name), the left bracket of the arguments is selected instead of the expected name of the argument.

this is fixed by #6198 I think by ensuring that alt-i only chooses the first child inside the current selection (instead of the first child node in general)
