[TxMt] Re: Auto-highlight all occurrences of selected word

[Matt Neuburg]

I know this isn't what you're asking for, but I really like the fact you can go from command-E command-F to Find All _in document_. You thus get a different use of the global find dialog: all occurrences _in this document_ appear in the dialog (rather than in the project). To me, this handles the need you're describing. I don't think autohighlighting would be useful because then you have to scroll and spot the highlighting (and my documents are _big_), whereas this way they are all listed for you. m.

So any currently highlighted text would appear throughout the doc similar to how highlighting matching pairs works now – something that doesn't require the user to do anything.
