How to navigate between instances of selected text in Sublime Text 3?

Question

Sublime Text 3 highlights all instances of currently selected text. Is there any shortcut to navigate cursor to the next / previous instance (copy) of selected text?

Answer 1

I'm on a mac, and this has sort of already been mentioned, but it doesn't require altering the hotkey menu and works well enough for me.

cmd+K keeps your highlight but deselects it

cmd+D expands your selection (now empty thanks to cmd+k) by including the next occurrence

highlight a string (one that recurs)

while holding cmd -> press K, then press D

alternating back and forth as many times as necessary.

Each time D is alternated to, your highlight and selection jump to only the next occurrence.
