IntelliJ: How to auto-highlight variables like in Eclipse
My employer wants me to use IntelliJ for Java development. Previously, I've always used eclipse. One of my favorite features in eclipse was being able to click on a variable, method parameter, class field, etc and see the usage of those variables highlighted throughout the class. Is there a way to enable this feature in IntelliJ IDEA? I'm using Ultimate version 9.0.3. CrazyCoder File | Settings ( Preferences on Mac) | Editor | General | Highlight usages of element at caret . I think Intellij does not do this by default for a reason. If you click in a symbol on your code, you can hit Ctrl+Shift
