Answer 1

I found how and lets share this cool feature with you. I found three cool features:

1. For multiple selection just hold alt + shift then select whenever you want to change by mouse click then type some thing you can write at multiple places at the same time.

2. Another cool feature is column selection. This lets you to click in a great manner and greatly of help especially when you are refactoring.

In most systems it works with holding middleMouseButton and dragging over your code and in others it works by holding alt and selecting code it acts like below:

3. the third cool feature is sublime selection it finds the same word in code and let you change that or append that easily. you can do that by pressing alt + j on Windows / Linux and ctrl + g in mac. Look how it works:

Also as @Narayana said in comments, Ctrl + Shift + Alt + j selects all occurrences in one shot, for one-shot refactoring.

Answer 2

You can use Alt + Shift and click multiple locations to for multiple cursor.

To select similar occurrences in files use Alt + j.
