In many other editors, all variables like the one the cursor currently is on, are highlighted. This helps to find all places where this variable is used.

The orange arrow shows the cursor over the $c variable (yes, it is PHP). The other occurences of this variable are highlighted using a light yellow background. This is very helpful if you like to refactor or if you are searching bugs.

BTW, this is PhpED from Nusphere (http://www.nusphere.com/products/phped.htm).

It should be an option.

I like this feature very much in Notepad++, although it could be improved to (optionally) not highlight in comments, strings etc.

Definitely. It's actually one of the first "features" I disable in other editors because
it annoys me and doesn't have any purpose for me whatsoever. :wink:

Oh, I missed this. Sorry. But now it is mentioned twice :D

Surely, this must be an option that can get switched on and off.

+1 for adding this feature. It is one of the big reasons I use Notepad++.

actually this feature would perfectly work together with another feature: a birds eye view (on the right to the vertical scrollbar) which shows you all occurrences in the source. Would also be cool for ctrl-f.
