How to replicate SublimeText ctrl+D in Visual Studio


I am used to work with Sublime text and trying to switch for Visual Studio for bigger projects, one of the feature of sublime that I absolutely love is its multiple select feature. You can hit ctrl + d multiple times to select next instance of the same word and then rewrite them all at once. Is there anything like this in Visual studio? I tryed to find it, but with no success.

Btw I am using Visual Studio 2015.

    The default shortcut is Alt+Shift+.


    But if you want to add Ctrl+D

    Alternatively you can manually add shortcuts

    In the image, you can find any command to customize in the middle section.

    The particular command you are interested is the one selected Edit.InsertNextMatchingCaret
