Hi,
Any plans to retrofit Kate-trinity with hlSelection (first introduced in Qt4 I believe) ?
Most modern (Geany and other Scintilla-based) programmer editors have this feature which highlights every occurrence in the text of a word being double-clicked.
Thanks, Rob ==========

Really double-clicking? No wonder I never found this. DrRacket has kind-of-this feature linked to mouseover: just move the mouse over a "word" and it shows where that "word" is comming from in the current languages context. Firefox highlights all found text from the search expression in the current document (if you are lucky).
Don't know if that's possible in kate right now, but I could imagine that the highlighting part might be accomlished by dynamicly adding a hinghlighting rule to the current set of rules. Actually this sounds like a cool feature ... but who has the time to implement it? (I know I don't have it ATM)

Hi Rob, that is indeed a nice to have feature. Realistically I can't tell you if or when we will do that simply because there is so much to do that it is difficult to accept/commit all user requests. But if you feel adventurous and want to give it a try, we will be happy to help with comments and code review on TGW. That is probably the best we can do atm.
Cheers Michele
Thank you all for your reply.
I forgot to mention this URL: https://kate-editor.org/2010-11-14/highlight-selected-text/
However, I haven't found the source for this old KDE4 kate plugin yet nor even managed to build a recent TDE kate (with plugins) from the source.

I get a 404 on that page.
