when I select a word (e.g., a variable name) in the source editor, all identical words in the source are highlighted: e.g.
Is there a way to extend the selection to the rest of the highlighted text, so that I can perform multiple editing? This is a common feature in source editors, see for example:
thanks for the reply: ctrl + alt + a (hey, how do you create those nice-looking keys?!) creates two cursors, one before and one after the word, but not one at each of the highlighted words. Example:
If I select stringy on the first line, ctrl + alt + a will give me a cursor before and after the word stringy on the first line, but I was actually looking for a cursor before the word stringy, on each line. I can insert multiple cursors in different lines at the same column keeping the Alt button pressed, but again, this is different from what I looked for. I guess the only other solution is to use Find & Replace, right?
Ps I didn't understand the snippet part, sorry! I'm not familiar with snippets
Thanks! I see that I can also select the word with the mouse, press Cmd + F (yay! I learned ) and then click All as you suggested. It works also this way.
@mara, I now see you were giving me the same suggestion but I didn't get it the first time
