Select next, is a functionality well needed in everyday programming. For an example, if you have a function that defines a variable and the variable is used multiple times. You would like to select the variable and next occurrences of it. Then you just select the variable and use the shortcut to select next variables that are the same name. Next occurring variables will be highlighted. That is one of the benefits of multiple-cursors.
