to expand on my last answer a little, it just a whole new paradigm.... i get it, i've used CTL - H for YEARS. but being able to select.... like lets say you have a file with dozens of instances of 'card' and you want to replace certain early functions that include card with player.card. you don't want every instance of card, that would break your program -- so you double click the first iteration of card (select word) and then hit control D to grab the others you want to modify. if you went one too far? ctl - U unselects that one. so you double click a name, hit CTL D however many times, and then type the new name. like i say, game changer. it's sooooo different than ctl-f ctl-h, its more pinpoint, and so much smarter
