Add Sublime's Ctrl+D

[EhsanKia]

Hey, I saw this recommendation in the comments, but there hasn't been any follow backs.

Any chance we could get this? In Sublime, pressing ctrl+d basically simply adds the next occurrence of what you have selected to the selection. if you have nothing selected, it uses the variable under your cursor. This would be a super neat feature to have.

+1, "ctrl+d" is a "killer feature" in ST, it would be nice to have it in VS.

I think the main thing we need to code up, is multi-selection logic. If anyone is willing to build up a multi-selection handler, I think we can add tons of cool features. Any takers?

👍 on multi selection logic.

I'd be willing to make a pass at multi-selection logic.

Make sure you have the Visual Studio SDK installed

It seems that upgrading the solution to vs2013 is a one way upgrade, so I guess I'll just submit a pull request without the changes to the csproj file? Any new files would need to be re-added by hand.

I don't have a problem with upgrading it to vs2013, I like 2013 :)

Do you mind if I rebuild the project into the 2013 sdk project type? That will allow me to run the extension directly rather than having to install and uninstall the extension over and over again to test it.

You might be able to put together the multi-select logic from this project:

This project seems to be what we're all looking for.

Sweet! Let us know how it works out - glad folks are up-ending each other in the community, just what we need for our ecosystem :)

Thank you very much @henrynguyen7

I tried MixEdit for a while and it does have more functionality than MultiEdit, but is also a bit buggy. Hopefully both projects will improve over time. Note too that MixEdit is commercial, so you'll have to buy a license to disable the nag screen.
