Highlight selected word in text

[Alexey V Beloblotskiy]

I've attached two files to this letter. So, you can see that Programmer's Notepad and Notepad++ both highlight selected word in text. This is very convenient and useful feature. Maybe somebody knows how to configure SciTE to do the same things. Thank you!

Configure, no, it isn't built in SciTE.
But the topic have been raised in the past (at least once, perhaps more) and I saw a Lua
script or two to do this kind of thing. At least with a keyboard shortcut (unsure if it
can be done systematically, or even if it is a good idea.

Note: in Eclipse, only the identifier in the current scope is highlighted. As you show, in
Scintilla it would highlight all occurrences, which can be a good thing or not. I think it
can be refined so that it highlight only words of same lexer state (ie. avoid comments,
strings, etc.).

In SciTE-Ru is implemented with script highlighting_identical_text.lua

highlighting_identical_text.lua is good, I've added it in my SciTE
intallation.
Thank you!
