Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

IDE Highlighting matching Text

Post by nco2k »

i have been using notepad++ for a while now, to code some php stuff and noticed a feature, which didn't seem significant at first sight, but proved itself extremely useful. if you select something, everything matching that text will be highlighted as well. having this would be very very cool.

Should be easy to implement, because http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaHistory.html states:

Code: Select all

Release 2.26  (25 May 2011)
SciTE can highlight all occurrences of the current word or selected text.

Microsoft Visual Basic only lasted 7 short years: 1991 to 1998.
PureBasic: Born in 1998 and still going strong to this very day!
