Select Next Occurrence in VS Code (macOS)
Press Command + D to select the word under the cursor, and with each further press the next place where it occurs.
What it does
The first press selects the word the cursor is in. Every further press adds the next occurrence of that text to the selection and puts a cursor there, so what you type next changes all selected places at once. It suits renaming a variable in a short block or editing a few similar lines, where a full find and replace would be more than the job needs.
