How to find all occurrences of word or a character and select them once and edit using multi cursor in visual studio code?

I have list of users and need to add domain before names.

I have: 

abc
pqr
xyz

I want :

domain\abc
domain\pqr
domain\xyz

I want to search for a new line character which will take me to the end of the each user name then by pressing home button I should reach to the beginning of each user where I will type "domain\" and it will modify each user at once.

I was able to do this in sublime text 3 by find all feature which provides multi cursor at each occurrence of character.

Is there any way to do the same in VS code ?

The easiest way to achieve this doesn't involve searching for newlines but rather by

  1. Making a selection (Such as Ctrl+A)
  2. Add cursor to all lines of the selection (Alt+Shift+I)
  3. Pressing home (Home)

You can use search and replace with a simple regular expression.

Search for: ^(.+)$

Replace with: domain\\$1

Make sure to enable regular expressions (Alt+R).
