Multiple selection in Visual Studio

Question

I would like to expand the cursor to the next word that is selected, it is similar to the CTRL + F but make a copy of the cursor to which the selected word was found, so you can change more than one place of the code at the same time.

• Using the Sublime or the Atom the same function is found after selecting the word, using CTRL + D.

The Visual Studio has a shortcut to an equivalent function?

I did not find in the documentation

Answer 1

There is no native shortcut.

But I found a plug-in that can be downloaded here, and has the following shortcuts.

• CTRL + D - Adds a cursor to the next selected word
• ALT + CLICK - Adds a cursor in the click area
• ALT + CLICK DUPLO - Adds a cursor in the click area and selects the word
• ESC - Back to single cursor mode

It is a plug-in (shortcut) that is worth investing some time to learn by decreasing the work at the time of coding/ typing.
