| Hi, is there a way to set up VA so that once I click the mouse onto a blank part of the editor, the highlights disappear? It's something that VS does, and I like it. |

Not currently. You can use the Escape key to clear the highlighting that appears from the setting:
VA Options -> Highlighting -> Highlight write and read references to symbol under cursor
You can always turn this off and use the IDE version of the highlighting instead if you prefer it. |

| I cannot because I don't use Intellisense. This is disappointing. |

Have you considered turning Off:
VA Options -> Highlighting -> Highlight write and read references to symbol under cursor
you can then map a keyboard shortcut to the command:
VAssistX.FindSelected
in the IDE keyboard settings. I have mapped this to Alt+K personally. Assuming you have the setting:
VA Options -> Highlighting -> Highlight results of Quick Find and Find in Files
turned On, you can press Alt+K to highlight all instances of the symbol the keyboard caret is in, as if you had done a find, without actually needing to do a find, or move the keyboard caret. The highlighting doesn't automatically disappear, but it only appears when you trigger it, rather than constantly appearing and moving as you move the keyboard caret around the file, so this might work better for you. |

| Hi, I appreciate the suggestion. I'm not sure if that is an improvement but will consider it. Is it possible to ask for a feature to offer the requested option? |
