How do I add a new cursor at the next occurrence of selected text?

In Sublime Text, I can use Ctrl+D or Command+D (Mac OS) to quickly add new cursors at the next occurrence(s) of the currently selected text. How can I do this in VSCode?

Thanks Benjamin. For reference, this functionality has been added (since v0.3.0):

  • ⌘D selects the word at the cursor, or the next occurrence of the current selection.
  • ⌘K ⌘D moves the last added cursor to next occurrence of the current selection.
  • ⌘U undoes the last cursor action.

We are preparing for a new version of VS Code that will have this feature enabled. It should be released next week!
