great plugin!... thanks!! It's very helpfull. I'll use it

Wonderful plugin. Thanks a lot for creating and posting it

P.S. any possible update about the "$" starting variables not being highlighted?

@ryanmills
I like notepad++ too

Excellent! Many thanks go to those involved.

If author don't mind, I slightly change a plugin.
Here is modified version http://multigenerator.googlecode.com/files/HighlightSelection_new.zip.

1. Add support for highlite words that starts with "$" sign.
2. Add options to change style of highlited blocks.

Wow. Downloaded it, and tested all the possible styles. Works perfectly.
Great update, thank you Kulkoff

With a black or dark color as the background color (vs white) the highlighting is a little difficult to see. It seems as though the highlight color is semi-transparent. Can that be modified so it can work well with dark background color schemes as well?

Here are also some suggestions for additional features:
Double click = highlight matches
Shift + Double click = highlight matches plus toggle match case
Ctrl + Double click = highlight matches plus toggle match whole word
Shift + Ctrl + Double click = highlight matches plus toggle match whole word plus toggle match case

This has definitely come in useful. Thanks!

Little idea,

is it possible to add another parameter - array of strings to ignore.

I would like to ignore "var", "this" selections by mistake.. if you have monster class that kind of selection lags... and don't have much use.

Thanks!

I'll second a huge thanks to Kulkoff! Adding highlight styling is a huge help for me. I too prefer to have a dark background in my coding window and it was very difficult to see the highlights. The box highlighting is perfect for me!

The real reason I was posting was a feature request. I think a way to make this infinitely more useful would be to include little marks on the scrollbar where the selections appear in the document. I've seen this using subclipse and it's remarkably useful!

Just throwing it out there. I'm not a c# developer so I'm not sure about its complexity, but I think it would be a great tool!

Thanks to Kulkoff and OP for the great plugin so far!

Hi, check in plugin settings for option "Add Line Marker". If its set to true, you can see a line markers in left (folding bar) opposite to highlited lines.

UPD.
Oh, sorry, I just understand what you mean. Yeah, marks on scrollbar could be useful in large document.

Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about. A slightly different usage, but same effect. You can see in the bottom half the boxes next to the scrollbar showing where differences between the two files exist. Also the two smaller squares towards the top of the scrollbar show smaller differences (1 line vs many lines). Something like this would be really useful with larger files, or when looking through someone else's code that you aren't as familiar with.

Is there any way to make the Highlight Color less transparent?
I mean, its so pale, it doesnt really matter what color i choose.
The marker at the line-number helps, but the Highlight Color is almost invisible on my LCD display.

Nice Plugin thx. Best of notepadd++.

I HIGHLY recommend downloading the updated version by kulkoff a few posts back. Lots more options for how the highlighted text is displayed. I have it set to "box" mode which is much easier to see in my opinion.

Perfect. Thanks to Kulkoff for that mod.
That changes a lot more than just $variable.

Is it possible to make the plugin work under FD4?

Feature request : Flash Develop has a option to "View Modified lines".

this disables it... would be nice if they worked together, with Highlight selection geting preority, but not removing Modified line marks.
