How do I add a new cursor at the next occurrence of selected text?

Question

In Sublime Text, I can use Ctrl+D or Command+D (Mac OS) to quickly add new cursors at the next occurrence(s) of the currently selected text. How can I do this in VSCode?

Thanks Benjamin. For reference, this functionality has been added (since v0.3.0):

⌘D selects the word at the cursor, or the next occurrence of the current selection.
⌘K ⌘D moves the last added cursor to next occurrence of the current selection.
⌘U undoes the last cursor action.

We are preparing for a new version of VS Code that will have this feature enabled. It should be released next week!

Thanks for the answer Benjamin - I would recommend this is deleted now, as 0.3 is out - and future readers may become confused. Thanks again for the excellent product your team is putting together – Chris Jun 04 '15 at 05:04
