I came across a need to select all matches in VS Code. This was the procedure, thanks to stack overflow. I altered them for Mac, since that’s what I was using. For Windows/Linux, substitute CMD with CTRL
- CMD + F
- Type your search string
- CMD + SHIFT + L to select all occurrences found (max. 999)
- ESC (or close search dialog with top-right X)
- CMD + C
- Open new file
- CMD + V
Works great! It’s a way for me to easily get ONLY my search string from a file and discard the rest.
