How to Edit Multiple Highlights in Dreamweaver CC

[nermie]

When In Dreamweaver CC 2017 split view, whenever I highlight a section of code by highlighting it with a mouse,  e.g a <span> tag, all sections of text similar to what has been highlighted become underlined in light blue. i.e all <span> tags. This seems like it is a tool to help speed up the editing process by allowing multiple sections of code to be edited simultaneously, e.g all deleted or all text edited.

However I cannot seem to find a way to edit all at the same time, if I delete, only the one instance of the text I selected is deleted. I have tried holding the shift key, the Opt Shift key, the command shift key, nothing seems to work.

Can anyone explain how this is meant to work, it seems like a good time saveing option if it will work.

Thanks

I think the underlining is just there to serve as a guide.

There are a few ways to edit multiple lines of text though...

1. You can hold Ctrl to highlight and then edit multiple lines as described here: New features summary for the 2017 releases of Dreamweaver CC

2. Or highlight a bit of code then right click the underlined text and choose "Find all and select" (or hit Ctrl + Alt + F3) then type in your replacement code
