VAX already have buttons for "find next by context" and "find previous by context".
would it be possible to have all of these matches coloured in, using a rather distinctive colour scheme? this way i can scan up and down the code and visually pick out each of the references. you can do this in vim (except that it doesn't respect context) with the hlsearch option, and i have this set to use a medium yellow background, which is very obvious 
you can do something similar with "mark all" in the find dialogue of VS, but this only shows you the lines, not the position of the string on the line. also, this doesn't respect the context.
if you do this *hopeful expression* there needs to be a quick way of turning off this highlighting, once you have finished reading it. |
