Is any way to make this feature automatic (without search)?
e.g. highlight all instances of word under cursor, when idle |

lexxmt: VAssistX.FindSelected will not move the caret. I bind this to Alt+K myself. |

Currently there is no way to make this automatic. The current feature is tied to the IDE's find feature, so highlighting the current symbol would probably need to be a separate feature. lexxmt are you talking about using the caret or the mouse to trigger this?
If my screen lights up every time I pause to think as I move the caret through the code this could get quite distracting and irritating quite quickly.
I suspect this highlighting uses the same technique as highlight current line, which also does not support syntax highlighting of the code when the background colour is changed. We are considering adding this ability, but it is currently a low priority idea:

Is it posible make automatic?
So if I didn't press any key during last 1-2 seconds VAX highlight current symbol.
Also CTRL+F3 move curet to next occurrence, but I wish stay on current. |

Highlight selected is very useful, but it would be even more so if you could change only the color of the background instead of both background and foreground color. That way you could keep the syntax highlighting at the same time as seeing what is highlighted. |

This feature can be activated on demand:
1. If you start searching. Ctrl+f3 is an easy way to do it.
2. You can highlight your selected text or the word under the caret in your file if you bind a key to VAssistX.FindSelected here:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard |
