How do I select multiple instances of text? Such as selecting all the "li" tags by highlighting one and pressing a shortcut to select the next instance and so on. Thanks

Well, you cannot. I think you're talking about the multiple cursors that are present in Sublime Text 2. But, if your text is aligned, then you can change it using the ALT + CLICK and dragging that.

You can vote for this feature as lena mentions.

UPDATE

This feature is now supported in Webstorm 8. If you press the ALT key and click on a different location, you will get a separate cursor there. Before, you could only drag and create cursors in the same line, however, now you can place your cursor wherever you want to.

Keyboard Shortcut

Ctrl then Ctrl+Arrow Up
