[quote][i]Originally posted by Habi[/i] [br]Hello, I have the following feature request: I would like to have the possibility to highlight several words in different colors simultaneously. See this [url="http://www.habermann-net.de/public/development/gvimMarkExample.gif"]screenshot[/url] of a GVim session for an example (wResult and fBufferLocked are marked). In GVim I use this feature very often to get a quick overview where which variable or function is used. I find this very helpful to understand code. Using different colors allows seeing very fast how variables and function are interacting with each other. The idea is the following: If the user presses a specific shortcut key the word under the cursor is highlighted with a background color. If the user moves the cursor over another word and presses the shortcut key, this word will also be highlighted, but with a different background color. And so on. If the cursor is over an already highlighted word and the user presses the shortcut key then the word is un-highlighted. I know that VAX has a similar feature, find references. But this allows just to highlight one variable/function. What are your thoughts? Greetings Habi [/quote]   Check to include your profile signature. Check to subscribe to this topic.
