How can I "Add Next Occurrence" in Visual Studio for Mac?

Question

In Visual Studio Code and Sublime Text there is functionality called "Add Next Occurrence" that selects next occurrence of marked text. The keyboard shortcut for utilizing this function is CMD+D (CTRL+D on Windows and Linux).

This function would select the next occurrence of the text and also add another cursor to the end of the newly selected text.

How can I achieve this in Visual Studio for Mac?

Answer 2

The shortcut is: ⇧ + ⌥ + .

(Shift + Option + .)

And its name in the settings is: "Insert next matching caret"

At the moment this answer is the only one working for Visual Studio (tested in 8.9). All the others are for Visual Studio Code.
