Description

Thank you for this great editor. I have to buy you a drink when I'm back in Taipei later this year!

I know you're swamped with feature requests, but here's my favorite Sublime Text feature: having some text selected and pressing Cmd+D repeatedly selects more occurrences of the same text in the entire document.

Frankly, I think Apple should add this to OS X in general, but until then, if you have the time... :-)
