Select all occurrences of selected word in VSCode

Question

Are there any trick or extension to select all instances of selected word in visual studio code, to facilitate editing or deleting those instances without search and replace

Answer 1

What if you want to select just a few?

No problem, first:

1. Ctrl+F find the letters by typing them
2. ESC to quit searching (you need to this even when using Ctrl+Shift+L to select all occurences)

OR

1. just select those letters with your mouse or keyboard (Shift+arrows)

Now that the mouse cursor is blinking on your first selection, using a few more Key Bindings (thanks for the ref j08691) you may:

• Ctrl+D select the next occurrence
• Ctrl+K+Ctrl+D skip the next occurrence
• Ctrl+U undo one of the above
