Variable highlighting
Upon highlighting a variable e should highlight all other occurrences of that variable in the current document. Netbeans and Notepad++ both do this and it's __extremely__ useful. An example of where you might use this feature: you see a variable declaration at the top of a function body and you want to know where it's used (if at all).

Lack of this feature means that when I'm refactoring or reading someone else's code, I normally have the file open in both Notepad++ and e-TextEditor at the same time.
@paul - I do agree it should be an option. The problem with the current way is that it isn't just ctrl-f, cos you also have to press enter. It ends up being double-click, ctrl-f, enter - which is probably 1 action too many for such a common function.

I vote this. I like the "hilight occurrences when double click" jiust like Notepad++ do.

Please do not do this. If you do, please make it an option in the settings. I find this quite annoying. If you want to see where a variable is being used, just highlight it and hit ctr-f.
