--------------------------------------- ### Key-bindings Go to Tools -> Options -> Keyboard and search for these command names to edit at your choice. Make sure the _Use new shortcut in_ is set to: ***Text Editor*** | Command (prefix SelectNextOccurrence.) | Recommendation | | :--- | :--- | | SelectNextOccurrence | Ctrl+D | | SelectNextExactOccurrence | | | SelectPreviousOccurrence | Ctrl+E | | SelectPreviousExactOccurrence | | | SelectAllOccurrences | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+A | | SkipOccurrence | Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D | | UndoOccurrence | Ctrl+U | | AddCaretAbove | Ctrl+Alt+Up | | AddCaretBelow | Ctrl+Alt+Down | | ConvertSelectionToMultipleCursors | Ctrl+Shift+I or Alt+Shift+I (vscode)) | ![Select Next Occurrence Keyboard bindings](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/2mas/SelectNextOccurrence/master/kbd_shortcuts.png)

--------------------------------------- ### Troubleshooting - **Nothing happens when pressing assigned keys** Check that the key-bindings are correct and that the _Use new shortcut in_ is set to: ***Text Editor***. - **Nothing happens when ALT + left-clicking mouse button to add new caret, multiple edits are unresponsive** There is a possibility that other plugins use this functionality too, and a conflict occurs. Please check for other installed plugins with this feature and try to disable. - **Copy/cut multiple occurrences doesnt work as expected** There is a conflict with the extension Copy As Html, if you have this enabled, try to disable it and see if this helps.
