IntelliJ editors : select text using a pattern

Question

I would like to be able to copy or cut text that's after a : in each line of a document. And then replace it with something else. The obvious way to do it would be to be able to put carets at each place where there is a : and go from there.

Is it possible to do that? Is there another way?

Answer 1

I think that you are looking for this, select one occurrence of « : » and then :

• Select/unselect the next occurrence: Alt + J / Shift + Alt + J (Ctrl + G / Shift + Ctrl + G) for Mac OS X)
• Select all occurrences: Shift + Ctrl + Alt + J (Ctrl + Cmd + G for Mac OS X)
