<p dir="auto">This is a very useful feature provided by Kate editor which I miss when I open I file on Atom.<br>
Any chance it could be implemented?</p>
<p dir="auto">Here is an example of how it works on Kate: suppose a file contains this</p>
<div class="snippet-clipboard-content notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="foo bar baz
baz foo bar
bar baz foo"><pre class="notranslate"><code class="notranslate">foo bar baz
baz foo bar
bar baz foo
</code></pre></div>
<p dir="auto">If I double click on "foo", it gets selected and then all 3 occurrences of "foo" are highlighted. If I unselect "foo", the highlight disappears. If then I select "bar baz", its two occurrences (on lines 1 and 3) get selected.</p>

<p dir="auto">Yet another Sublime Text feature (YASTF).</p>
<p dir="auto">This should act as a preview of what <kbd>Cmd</kbd>-<kbd>d</kbd> will select.</p>
