Question

How can I select occurrences of variables in PhpStorm rather than just any text in the editor?

In PhpStorm Alt + J will select next occurrence in text like so:

Is there an action to select next occurrence of symbol (not just text)? like so:

Answer 1

In order to select next occurance of "symbol" you have to place your cursor on the word without selecting it and then hit Alt + J.

If you want to select the next occurance of text then you have to select the text first and then hit Alt + J.

So basically it behaves differently if you have selected a text or not.
