How to change a math notation in multiple places in overleaf

Question

When using Overleaf for compiling, I can see whenever I select a math notation like $i$ here, the system will highlight the same notation in multiple places like in the screenshot.

I wonder if there are any shortcuts so that I could select and change them to another notation $k$ really quickly.

I know one way is to press "Ctrl" on my keyboard and use mouse cursor to select them one-by-one, but that is too slow. I have 100+ $i$'s like this...

Sorry if I asked this question in a wrong place, but I did see there is an Overleaf tag.

Can't you just search and replace (with regex for example)? Unrelated, but just because I spotted this in your picture: Don't use double $$, use \[...\] to typeset display math. — Jasper Habicht, Dec 05 '22 at 01:12
@JasperHabicht Searching will also find $i$ appearing EVERYWHERE including i in "again" and "copies" I only want those appearing as symbols as highlighted by overleaf — taylor, Dec 05 '22 at 01:17
That's why I suggested regex: [^a-z](i)[^a-z] for example would find all i where no letter comes before or after; \$.?(i).?\$ would find all i somewhere between two $ (but this would probably not work if you also have $$ in your document). — Jasper Habicht, Dec 05 '22 at 01:32
ctrl alt right is supposed to work but it doesn't...? overleaf - Keybinding for multiple selection in ShareLaTeX? - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange ■ overleaf - How can I change a word (that occurs often) in the document all at once - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange doesn't have anything either. — user202729, Dec 05 '22 at 10:59
