✅ How to select duplicates on VS
I'm new to Visual Studio and I'm trying to do something I can do on VSC. I highlighted something in an XAML file and I'm trying to select all other duplicates downward using Cmd + D just like in VSC but its not working. How can I multiselect the duplicates?

hmm, never heard of such a thing
you're talking about disjointed selections?
not sure if VS supports such a thing
just block selection, like most code editors
if it is a thing, you might be able to find it in "Tools" => "Options" => "Environment" => "Keyboard"
probably as an "Edit.XXX" command
I'm not seeing anything that reads like what you're describing
disjoint selections, what is the utility there?
Basic Editing in Visual Studio Code
Learn about the basic editing features of Visual Studio Code. Search, multiple selection, code formatting.
yeah, block selection is supported no problem
Alt+Shift
something more arbitrary, not sure, never seen it before
oh I didn't know about Alt+Shift I'll use that. But what about the Cmd + D "to get the next occurrence of the current selection"
like I said, if it's a thing, it'll be in the commands list
I'm not seeing anything that looks like it, but I don't really know what it might be called
ok thanks
