Vscode: Missing Sublime command - find and select all occurrences of a symbol

Created on 20 Oct 2016  路  5Comments  路  Source: microsoft/vscode

While building this extension I found that VS Code is missing feature parity with Sublime Text. The feature is find and select all occurrences.

This is what I see in Sublime Text.

find_and_select_all

As far as I can tell an equivalent feature does not exist in VS Code.

The keyboard shortcut for this feature in Sublime Text is alt+f3 on Windows / Linux and ctrl+cmd+g on Mac.

VS Code has something very similar - cmd+f, do a search, then press alt+enter to select all matches. But I just found that I have some extension installed that overrides that keyboard shortcut and throws an error, which is extremely annoying, and now I have to figure out which one it is. And it would be nice to have something that works exactly like sublime, with one step instead of two. I guess an extension could cover this though.

There is a shortcut is VSCode for this : cmd + L (cmd + shift + l) on mac. I guess its ctrl + L on PC

@Swiiip awesome! That is what I was looking for. Thanks!

The selection is limited only to the first 1000 occurrences :(
