This feature is only active in some modes, since there are modes in which it would't make sense.
It works for JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, etc...
What mode are you trying it on?

@joaomoreno It most definitely _does not_ work in C# mode. Is it possibly a recent regression?

Oh yeah... looks like one, can you file an issue on https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/issues?

FYI, it's not working on the Plain Text module either.

@wprater Plain Text isn't a mode in which it makes sense to have this.

@joaomoreno this doesn't work with Mac US International - PC keyboard.
In Atom works with ' + space

@joaomoreno I'm curious why you say that this doesn't make sense in plain-text mode? Atom and Sublime both support this in plain text. I often use this feature in Atom as a sort of scratch-pad (e.g. for quoting a bunch of lines of text all at once).
