Multiple Cursors - Preserve Case

Use Case Take the following: const [value, setValue] = useState();

I want to change it to: const [array, setArray] = useState();

Feature Ask It would be great to:

1. Select value.
2. Press Ctrl+D.
3. Type array.
4. See that both symbols have changed, while preserving their proper casing.

Right now, I need to conduct two edit operations to do this. Alternatively, I can use a single Find & Replace operation, but that would be disproportionately time-consuming for this task, as well as less precise.

if you begin with a collapsed selection and press ctrl+d then the selection expands to the current word and for as long as you continue pressing ctrl+d, whole word and match case will be on

if you begin with a non-collapsed selection and press ctrl+d, then the modifiers are taken from the last state of the find widget

(from @alexdima) Collapsed selection means a selection of length 0.
