MATLAB's built-in editor might not have a direct equivalent to Visual Studio Code's Ctrl+D shortcut for "Add Selection To Next Find Match," you can achieve a similar result using the "Find and Replace" functionality:

1. Press Ctrl + F to open the "Find and Replace" dialog.
2. Type the variable or text you want to find in the "Find" field.
3. Click the "Find Next" button or press F3 to find the next occurrence.
4. If you want to replace the found occurrences, you can type the new variable or text in the "Replace with" field and use the "Replace" or "Replace All" options.

Alternatively, you could consider using an external editor that is compatible with MATLAB code, such as VSCode with a MATLAB extension, which allows you to edit MATLAB files with all the features of VSCode, including multi-cursor editing.

For more specific functionality, you may want to check the latest MATLAB documentation or reach out to the MathWorks support community, as new features and shortcuts are added over time.
