Hope to add function of 'Find All'

[lix0x7]

Thanks to all of you for making such perfect product.

• I make the issue to request a new function 'Find All', which means I can enter the multiple-cursor mode when I have done the find operation.

The step is as below:

1. Find something, usually a regular expression.
2. I hope that i can click a button such as 'Find All', the vs code will insert cursor at every end of finding result. It is very useful when I want to do batch insert operation.

This is the function all i want. The gif is as below.

At last, thx again!

We have a PR for this (#7559), but we need to figure out some UX first -- in the meantime you can use alt+enter in the find input.

@alexandrudima thank you for reply! I will wait for it~

@leafli7 you could also try the incremental-search extension.

For your example, either:
a) create a new cursor for each line (ctrl+alt+down), type ctrl+i, type 9, and then press enter; or
b) with just one cursor, type ctrl+i, type 9, type shift+alt+i 8 times (to add to the selection), and then press enter.

Closing this issue as out of date.

You can use the Select all occurrences of find match command to do something similar to what was originally requested
