Find Word At Cursor

This extension lets you quickly find the next word in the document that matches the current word under your cursor. It also works with a highlighted selection.

This extension provides the same functionality as IntelliJ's Find Word At Caret.

Find word at cursor Find selection

Extension Settings

This extension adds two new commands:

  • findWordAtCursor.next: moves the caret to the next word or selection under it
  • findWordAtCursor.previous: moves the caret to previous word or selection under it

Note No keybinding is provided by this extension. You have to create one yourself.

On my Mac system, I've mapped these two commands to:

  • cmd+ctrl+down for findWordAtCursor.next
  • cmd+ctrl+up for findWordAtCursor.previous

They're listed and described here.
