ctrl+select to highlight multiple words #209

Open ghost opened 9 years ago

I just noticed that when pressing ctrl while selecting text, all other occurrences of that text are highlighted, but the problem is sometimes it just doesn't work, although it's actually a very great idea!

It's not that it's supposed to work but doesn't sometimes, it just so happens to work sometimes. This depends on #76.

You didn't understand. ;) Ctrl+select only happens to highlight multiple words by chance, and only does it sometimes. Highlighting multiple words (in a controlled manner) is a feature that I'm already planning, but that I haven't implemented yet. It doesn't matter if it's in the beta or in the released version, the same thing will happen in either.

You're basically saying that the ctrl+select is just something that happened randomly, I see. But it would be nice if you actually implement it.
