Greetings!
It would be desirable to make the offer on improvement of highlight of the selected blocks or words: it is necessary that the selected fragment or a word under the cursor were highlighted everywhere in a displayed window if it still meets, for example it would be convenient seen variables or methods in listings and source codes (as well as in IDA Pro, there highlight by yellow color) and to bring in this opportunity to options (on/off)
Its really convenient!
Yours faithfully,
Alexander |

If you mean to say you'd like to put the cursor on X, and press a hotkey, and see all other X's highlighted--I'd like that too! In fact I was considering making a post about it.
Some quick ideas:
- The hotkey could toggle the highlighting, so you could turn off the highlighting the same way you turned it on.
- If you highlight something else, it could use a different highlight color, much like highlighted keywords in Google's cache.
- There should be an "unhighlight all" command.
- Two different contrast levels could be used: high contrast for identifiers that have matching context and lower intensity for identifiers with different context (or unknown context). For example,
void f()
{ int foo = 3; func(foo); }
void g()
{ int foo = 7; bunk(foo); }
So if I put my cursor on f.foo and run the highlight command, then the two uses of foo in f() should be strongly highlighted, while the two uses of foo in g() should be weakly highlighted.
- Additionally, you should be able to select some text and press the hotkey to cause all instances of that text to be highlighted.
- Experimental idea: the highlighting could fade (toward the background color, typically white) over time. This could reduce the need for the user to manually turn off highlighting on individual identifiers.
