Sometimes to track variable/method usages in current scope (function) it could be very useful to make this symbol highlighted. The highlighting could be turned off by 'Esc' press in editor

This sounds useful at times. But, isn't that what the Find Next in Scope and Find Previous in Scope are for?

I like the idea too, but I seem to recall the boys saying that controlling the background color of the edit window was well-nigh impossible...

this gets requested every now and then, and i also would love to see it happen. if the background is to hard to change, which does sound familiar, then how about making all instances bold, and in a specific (user definable) colour. so long as you pick a distinct colour this should work nearly as well.

We have a half-done, interal feature to highlight all references. The problem is not just with background color; it's with edge cases. Symbols defined using preprocessor macros, and heavy use of preprocessor macros in cpp files, make it difficult to be absolutely sure we have all occurrences.
Joe is right in mentioning "Find Next in Conext." It's just we know how to fool the feature. If we make it more accessible, i.e. via "highlight all," we need to fix some things. And you know "highlight in all files" would be the next request.
All this said, we'd like this feature ourselves. |
