select the same words in the Vim

I know there is a lot of information on how to do it, but I can't do it anyway. I use vs with vim expansion.

I have text with variables, I want to select for example variable btn in all text and change it to button. How can I do it?

I tried with select and press key n,
but it selects all text until next btn;
also '*' is not working, it's just jumping to next btn;

Thank you!

You can use the *or viw to visually select the word under the cursor.
