This shortcut is similar to cmd d/ ctrl d but it selects all the matching words at once. This undoes the previous selection, like from Select Same Words. Then you can either type directly (which will replace the old words) or use left or right arrow to append things. If you select a word, and then hit the key combo for this command, Atom will select the next same word for you.
