Automatic text highlighting

[AlgoJerViA]

Hi
I might remember wrong but I think the first week I used codelite there was a automatic highlighting function so that when I double click on a word it highlighted all other words that where the same. This was awesome but a few days ago it disappeared without me knowingly doing anything. Can someone help me get it back?

Hi,

Surely not a feature that stops working until you buy the professional version?
No, just joking.

Look at the 'Search' toolbar. On its right is a tool with the tooltip "Highlight word". Click, and highlighting will return.

But I did buy the pro version from that strange website with porn commercial.

Yea that does not work the same way, but as I said I might remember wrong, It could be that I mixed this up with notepad++. The way you suggest I have to mark a word search for it with Ctrl+F and then press the highlighting box twice to toggle it off from the last search and then on again.. Is the a shortcut to the highlighting box by the way? Anyway the behavior I remembered was that is was enough to double click on a word to automatically highlight all other words instantly.

It does for me. Check the tool in the 'Find' section of the main toolbar at the top of CodeLite, not the Ctrl-F one. Then double-clicking on e.g. wxString should highlight all 'wxString' instances in the file.

Is the a shortcut to the highlighting box by the way?

Not afaik.
