Open To Close Bracket/quotation Mark/tag Selection Intellij

In Eclipse there is the nicest feature, when you hover with the mouse over an Open or Close element (Any Open or close bracket '(', '{', '[', ']', '}', ')', the Quotation Mark ' '

Solution 1:

In the Edit menu, you can find "Select Word at Carat". This should have the shortcut "Alt-Up".

While this doesn't immediately select the entire block, used in succession 2-3 times (depending on whether your block is nested on a line or spans multiple lines) will select the entire block.
