| Just got the new 1549 and like the highlightening of the current line. As a I changed from Eclipse to Visual Studio I miss the "Mark Occurrences" feature very much. Wouldn't it be possible to have an option to turn the highlight references "always on" in the current file? So selecting a field, variable or method shows all occurences in the file or in an advanced version it shows all methods in an file and e.g. variables only in their scope ... |

Turn on:
VA Options -> Text Editor -> General -> Highlight references using
set the colours you like, and use VA's Find References feature.

This should do what you are looking for. |

This might be feature request case=5141.
Can you describe the Eclipse feature some more? Do you invoke a command to make the highlights happen or does it constantly track where the caret is placed? |

| I already found the feature you mentioned. What I'm thinking of would be the "real time" version of VA's find reference. As soon as I mark a method, variable, field ... all occurrences in the current file should be marked. So that I don't have to press a button for the search and the search should be limited to the file under work. A better desription of the feature could be found under http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t19240.html for example. This is pretty smart for navigating quickly in my code or understanding unknown code. If you get used to it you can't live without it ;-) |

This is feature request case=5141
You can get VIM to do the same thing, which is very useful, I agree. |

A great idea from eclipse:
"Select a return type to highlight all the exit points of a method."
I like it. It would be extremely useful, if I could highlight all return point within a function...
I know I know, I can find "return", but it's not the same  |

I rather like that idea, and it does build on the active marking idea quite nicely. I have put in a feature request for this:
case=8987 |
