1. Select sibling matching(equal) word (Ctrl + D)
Put the cursor on one word, press Ctrl + D to select the word, then press Ctrl and following by pressing D, it will select next matching word. The number of Ds pressed will mean number of matching word to select. For example, if pressing Ctrl and followed by D for three times, it will select three matching words.
