The built-in command Add Selection To Next Find Match (editor.action.addSelectionToNextFindMatch) has oft-undesirable behavior in that it honors the settings of the find dialog (case-sensitivity, whole-word, etc.). This extension adds a command to multi-select the next occurrence of the exact, case sensitive text that is currently selected.

Usage

By default, the extension is bound to cmd+shift+d on mac, or ctrl+shift+d on windows/linux. To rebind, in keyboard shortcuts, change the binding for Select Same Text.

Behavior:

• Does nothing if no text is selected
• Search downward from the last selection for an exact match
• Wrap around to the top if last occurrence is selected
• If the text was selected from right to left, the new selection will be as well
