Multiple selections

Select multiple items faster

Multiple selections is a very powerful feature in the editor, that lets you quickly select and edit multiple pieces of code at once.

How to use:

Select something as you normally would, or press ^G (macOS) / Alt+J (Windows/Linux), to select the symbol at the caret.

GoLand will search through the current file until it finds a matching piece of text, which it then adds to the selection.

You can press ^G (macOS) / Alt+J (Windows/Linux) again to go forward further, or ^⇧G (macOS) / Alt+Shift+J (Windows/Linux) to go backward. When the search reaches the end of the file, it will start over again from the beginning.
