select onther vertex

Hi, Let's say you have two vertexes adjacent to each other same xyz, but you can only select one, at list max it only lets you select this one.
You can see on the selection panel in editable poly (Vertices Selected) that is the same one.

How can you select the other one?

Select booth and Alt+click to deselect unwanted one

Sometimes it always selects the one you don't want and you lose the position as you need to move both of them to get the one you want.
If you have many it's even worse.

Every Vertex has a number in the proper mesh like an ID, which you can see on the edit poly selection panel.
where we can get that list so we can select it easily.
Similar concept like when we apply a skin modifier you get a list of Vertices that you can select and add or remove from a bone.

Select one and see and note its number then hold down the SHIFT key while clicking to cycle through other coincident vertices.

Unfortunately, it's not working by pressing the shift key it always goes back to the vertex he likes more.
on the video, it shows the other one but I can't select it.
