Here is the sneak peek of the multiple cursors:

### **Add cursors at arbitrary positions**

### **Select next instances**

To select the next instance one by one, use **`⌘ + D`**.

* When your selection is a string, highlight the string and press **`⌘ + D`**.
* When your selection is a word, you can just put the cursor at the word and press **`⌘ + D`** without having to highlight the entire word first.
