In my MacOS case for some reason Cmd Shift L is not working  while pressing the short cut on the keyboard  although it work just fine while clicking on this option in menu  Selection -  Select All Occurences   So for me pressing Cmd FN F2 did the trick  FN is for enabling  F2  obviously    Btw  if you forget this shortcut just do right-click on the selection and see  Change All Occurrences  option
