There's one thing I lack for Visual Studio though, and that is the ability to highlight a searchterm in a file. Anyone knows of a simple way of getting that?

- pook 16y agoIn vim, it's :set hlsearch http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_all_search_pattern_matches http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_all_search_pattern_match... Emacs has many ways of highlighting search terms: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/385661/emacs-highlight-all-occurences-of-a-word http://stackoverflow.com/questions/385661/emacs-highlight-al...
- henrikschroder 16y agoThat's nice, but totally not what I was asking for. :-) After some more googling it appears Visual Studio 2010 has the feature, almost, and a simple plugin gives the exact functionality I want. Dunno if I want to upgrade to 2010 yet though. Hm...
- wooUK 16y agoHave you looked at ReSharper? It does usage highlighting (http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/navigation_search.html#Highlight_Usages http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/navigation_searc...) The extra functionality it adds to VS 2008 & 2010 is really useful. I started using it about a month ago and kicking myself I didn't invest in it ealier.
- roel_v 16y agoIt's not a 'simple' way, but I use viemu in Visual STudio, where you can search for things in the vi way: you position your cursor on a word, press * and it will search for the next occurrence of that word, and highlight all matches. # does the same but backwards. So viemu gives you highlighting of search terms, in Visual Studio from 2003 onwards. It also has vi-style regex searches, and it also highlights matches in that search mode.
