[Feature Request] Select Next Occurrence (in addition to currently selected text)

[pa-0]

A common feature of some editors is the ability to select, not only 'all occurrences' but the next occurrence as well. A user has a string of text selected, press Ctrl + D (for example) and the next occurrence of the selected text in the document would also be selected. This is useful where multiple occurrences of a selection need to be edited simultaneously, but not all occurrences in the document.

Thank you for the feedback. This is something nice to have but the keyboard shortcut is a problem here.

VS Code uses Ctrl-D on Windows and Cmd-D on Mac for this feature, but I have just used Cmd-D in #813.

It seems I need to change that since Cmd-D for next occurrence is more widely recognized.

Yes I believe it's the same in Sublime as well.

I'm reading up on CodeMirror Extensions. my typescript knowledge is little-to-none, but I'm willing to at least attempt to stumble my way into creating a working extension for this myself 😅

selectNextOccurrence StateCommand

Select next occurrence of the current selection. Expand selection to the surrounding word when the selection is empty.

No worries, my implementation in #820 uses the function you mentioned.

I added an entry to the Edit -> Find menu.
