Does IntelliJ have a `Ctrl` + `K`,`Ctrl` + `D` Sublime equivalent? How do I skip a match when using Alt+J for multiple selections in Android Studio?

I want to have the 'Ctrl'+'K','Ctrl'+'D' functionality of Sublime in Android Studio, how do I do it?

Perfectly similar to this question, but with respect to Android Studio. How do I skip a match when using Ctrl+D for multiple selections in Sublime Text 2?

I use Ctrl+D to add to selection (discrete multiple select) the next occurrence of the string (or substring) highlighted. And to skip adding next immediate selection to selection but the one after it, I use Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D. How do I do the same in Android Studio.

I just know Alt+J is similar to Ctrl+D (found from Keymappings in Android Studio).

And to deselect the last selected it's Alt+Shift+D.

But how do I skip next occurrence?

My question is in no way related to: Does IntelliJ IDEA have a `Ctrl` + `K`, `Ctrl` + `D` equivalent?. That's Visual Studio equivalent. I want the SublimeText equivalent.

It is described in this Issue that was initially created because this skip-next was missing.

Anyhow you just press F3 to skip next possible selection.

Check http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2014/03/intellij-idea-13-1-rc-introduces-sublime-text-style-multiple-selections/

Select next occurrence: Alt + J (Ctrl + G for Mac OS X)

Unselect next occurrence: Shift + Alt + J (Shift + Ctrl + G for Mac OS X)

If you are using OSX, there are two answers, depending on what keymap you have selected in Preferences:

Keymap : Mac OS X 10.5+

  • To start / add to your discrete multiple selection : CTRL+G
  • To skip the current selection and move to the next : CMD+G

Keymap : Mac OS X

  • To start / add to your discrete multiple selection : CTRL+G
  • To skip the current selection and move to the next : F3
  • (this mode is really awkward IMO - no flow)

If you have more follow up questions I had success asking support via this thread : https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-121956

Go To Settings -> Keymap -> Main Menu -> Edit -> Find

OR Search for the following options in Settings -> Keymap

Set the shortcuts for the following (Linux/Mac) :

Add Selection for Next Occurrence : Ctrl + D/Cmd + D

Find Next/ Move to Next Occurrence : Ctrl + K/Cmd + K

You might also want to setup Unselect occurrence:

Unselect Occurrence : Ctrl + U/Cmd + U

Carefully remove/replace/override any other existing bindings with these shortcuts according to your needs. You should have Sublime Text Ctrl+D, K behaviour working.

Note: Test these shortcuts for functionality with the default key bindings first. This will ensure, you get working shortcuts with your favourite shortcut keys.

I needed to use sublime's Ctrl+D (switch between multiple selected).

The F3 key worked for me.
