Multiple cursors / highlight next instance of currently highlighted word

Question

In Sublime Text, it\'s easy to select the next instance of a word by pressing command + d and also place multiple cursors by pressing command & clicking

Answer 1

If what you're wanting to do is change the name of a variable, then when your cursor is on the variable press control+command+E and type away. (This is "Edit All in scope")

For editing on a Project scope there is always the Editor > Refactor > Rename menu item
