Solution 1 - Sublimetext
On Mac OS you can use: CMD + CTRL + G
Solution 2 - Sublimetext
On Windows/Linux press Alt+F3.
Solution 3 - Sublimetext
> On Windows/Linux press Alt+F3.
This worked for me on Ubuntu. I changed it in my "Key-Bindings:User" to something that I liked better though.
Solution 4 - Sublimetext
On Mac:
ā+CTRL+g
However, you can reset any key any way you'd like using "Customize your Sublime Text 2 configuration for awesome coding." for Mac.
On Windows/Linux:
Alt+F3
If anyone has how-tos or articles on this, I'd be more than happy to update.
Solution 5 - Sublimetext
Note: You should not edit the default settings, because they get reset on updates/upgrades. For customization, you should override any setting by using the user bindings.
On Mac:
- Sublime Text 2 > Preferences > Key Bindings-Default
- Sublime Text 3 > Preferences > Key Bindings
This opens a document that you can edit the keybindings for Sublime.
If you search "ctrl+super+g" you find this:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+super+g"], "command": "find_all_under" },

In the other posts, you have the shortcut keys, but if you want the menu option in every system, just go to Find > Quick Find All, as shown in the image attached.
Also, check the other answers for key binding to do it faster than menu clicking.

Even though there are multiple answers, there is an issue using this approach. It selects all the text that matches, not only the whole words like variables.
As per "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16844657/sublime-text-select-all-instances-of-a-variable-and-edit-variable-name" and the answer in "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16844657/sublime-text-select-all-instances-of-a-variable-and-edit-variable-name/18422707#18422707";, we have to start with a empty selection. That is, start using the shortcut Alt+F3 which would help selecting only the whole words.
