how to highlight text

(1/1)

tim777:
Firefox and some text editors have very useful feature - text highlighting.
Is it possible in CodeBlocks or may be will be possible?

What do you mean by text highlighting?

Do you mean text selection or maybe you mean syntax highlighting?

In either case Code::Blocks can do both. :)

Or maybe you meant something else....

Thanks for reply, sethjackson.
Of course, I know about text selection and syntax highlighting :-)
But I mean another feature:
for example, in Firefox browser, all part of a text that you are searching (by ctrl-F) can be highlighted in current document. For this there is the button "Highlight all" in searching bar. Such that you may fast scroll the document and see searching part. In many cases this is much more convenient than sequential searching.

tim: it could be done, but it would be a PITA to implement.
an easier fix would just be to add the option to search current file only in Find in Files as that gives a list of all hits to select from.
