Highlighting all occurrences of selected symbol #70

It would be really nice to have all occurrences of a selected symbol highlighted in the current editor. Pydev again: untitled It really helps you find the declaration of a symbol.

This is probably related to #111, since the editor needs to know about the structure of the source code. As a side node, there is already the autocomplete feature, using an external program, so maybe the same idea can be used for finding other references in code.

P.S. I thought this is a basic feature of any decent editor.

P.S. I thought this is a basic feature of any decent editor.

A basic feature? Well, if its an approximate Highlight Occurrences using textual search - which is not 100% accurate, yeah, that is probably common. But having semantically accurate Highlight Occurences, that is not that common in editors.

That said, the guru tool does support a find-all-references functionality, it seems like that could be used to implement this.
