  • Ctrl + Alt + click : Add a secondary caret
  • Ctrl + Alt + double-click : Add a secondary word selection
  • Ctrl + Alt + click + drag : Add a secondary selection
  • Shift + Alt + . : Add the next matching text as a selection
  • Shift + Alt + ; : Add all matching text as selections
  • Shift + Alt + , : Remove last selected occurrence
  • Shift + Alt + / : Skip next matching occurrence
  • Alt + click : Add a box selection
  • Esc or click : Clear all selections

Some of those commands are also available in the Edit menu:
