How do I change all the selected instances in the editor?
«

When I am in the code editor, and the IDE selects and highlights all the instances of a name, say "dbf1", how do I type so it changes all the values and I don't have to do it one at a time?

Thanks, I thought there was something quicker, that didn't involve a menu selection. My mistake.

there is the sync edit as well. select all the lines of code you want to change, press the sync edit icon on the gutter that comes up press tab or click on the word you want to edit and start typing. It should auto edit all of the words at the same time.
