Edit All Occurrences of String in Scope

[itaiferber]

I posted this on the UserEcho site, but I thought it would be worth reposting here to spread the idea a bit:

Xcode (the Objective-C IDE) has a great feature where you can simultaneously edit all occurrences of a string at once within a given scope. This is really handy when renaming method parameters or variable names — it saves a lot of time, and prevents any of the mishaps that Find and Replace and introduce. This would be a great addition to Sublime Text 2...

A simple feature, but one I sorely miss. Would be great either as a built-in feature or as a plugin.

Select a string, and keep pressing CMD+D to select its occurences, now you can rename it.

You can also use Ctrl-k,Ctrl-d to skip an occurrence.
