Ctrl+D performs the find_under_expand
command in sublime. This basically searched for the next occurrence of the already selected text and sel
Currently its mapped with
for selection, Alt + J
for unselection, Alt + Shift + J
but if you're familiar with sublime shortcuts like Ctrl + D
Jetbrains give you an option to change settings,
Settings -> Keymap -> Editor Actions
search for multiple selection, find Alt + J then right click -> select change keyboard shortcuts
set shortcuts you want as like sublime, Ctrl + D
Here is the Docs
I believe they recently added this to the latest IntelliJ release, and I would assume PhpStorm as well. As the bindings are system specific, take a look at http://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2014/03/working-with-multiple-selection-in-phpstorm-8-eap/. Looks like that version is available through EAP, so don't know when they will release it for general consumption (or if they have already).
Alt+J on Windows and Linux, Ctrl+G on Mac OS X
On Mac OS X, you can select the next occurrence with Ctrl+G
In the settings window, search for ”Add Selection for Next Occurence” (PhpStorm 8.0.1)
On mac the default is ctrl+G, but you can change it to ctrl+D (or cmd+D on mac)
On Windows
Alt+j - Multiple Select
Alt+Shift+j - Unselect Multiple Select
PhpStorm has a "Select Word at Caret", Ctl+W and Ctl+Shift+W respectively (you can check your keys by searching under Preferences > Keymap).

Not entirely sure if it's the same as you mentioned, but it's mighty handy!
