There is a feature in Notepad++ which I quite miss from my move
Windows->Linux, this is the ability to select a piece of text in a
document and then the editor automatically highlights all occurrences
of the string. Is there any kind of similar functionality in SciTE?

A close approximation is the Mark All button in the Find dialog. It puts bookmarks on each
line containing the searched string, so a simple F2 goes to each occurrence.

I must admit I start to get used to the feature (highlight strings, show highlights near
scroll bar, navigate between highlights) in Eclipse.
Shouldn't be too hard to implement, just need somebody to do the job...

I can take a look if you like. I will download the code and take a
look at it this weekend.
