I'm looking for a "select each occurrence of" something I'm trying to find. For example a file has a bunch of text that includes "abc", I type ctrl+f and type abc. I can either find the first one or the next one, but I would like to "multi-cursor" each one in the file.
I've already found the feature that lets me highlight text and ctrl+d to get the next that matches the selection, but if there's a hundred of these things - well that gets quite tiresome.

Ctrl+D selects the word at the cursor, or the next occurrence of the current selection. Tip: You can also add more cursors with Ctrl+Shift+L, which will add a selection at each occurrence of the current selected text.
You can use ⌃⌘G (macOS), or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+J to select all matching words in the document rather than selecting one at a time. You can use ⌃⇧G (macOS), or Alt+Shift+J (Windows/Linux) to remove the selection from the last selected occurrence.
