Mark occurence of words

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

I'm missing one of my favourites editor features: mark occurence of words, like 
notepad++ has. For instance having a file like:

(1)var_1 = 145
(2)var_2 = 0.005
(3)do_something(var_1, var_2)

Now, if you mark var_1 in line 1 (doesn't matter whether with mouse or 
keyboard), var_1 in line 3 is marked as well.

What do you mean mark? (Select?)

Yes, I mean select.

Here is a small screenshot from Notepad++ to further explain this feature, hope 
you got it. I just marked/selected the word temp on line 6 (either by double 
click or with shift+arrow key)

Does the highlight only happen when you select a whole word?

yes (see attached screenshot -> nothing is highlighted when you don't select a 
whole word)! And only whole words are highlighted(see screenshot 
occurence_marking.PNG of previous post: temp which is a substring of temp1 is 
not marked. it is a feature to find easily where you use a variable)

Fixed in Version Control.
IDE Option added "Highlight Selected Word".
The selected word is highlighted when you select a word by double-clicking or 
by issuing the editor command "Select Word".
