Brackets: select text string occurrences by double click

Question

I'm currently using Brackets as IDE for JS development. I'm enjoying it, but I'm missing some features found in Sublime Text and WebStorm, like double click in some word and the editor highlights the same string occurrences in the document.

As long as I know, Brackets doesn't do that by default. Is there a plugin that adds this behavior to it?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Found what you need. It is called Quick Search
Go to https://s3.amazonaws.com/extend.brackets/enturn.quick-search/enturn.quick-search-1.1.3.zip
And Install it. It is an occurance highlighter as mentioned Automatically highlights occurrences of the selected word (like Notepad++ smart highlighting)

Found that from : https://brackets-registry.aboutweb.com/

Answer 2

There's now an official Brackets feature for this, but you have to enable it in your preferences:

1. Choose Debug > Open Preferences File in the menu
2. Add a new top-level entry "highlightMatches": true
3. Save the file and you're done!

You can also set it to "highlightMatches": {"showToken": true} if you want it to highlight without even making a selection first (just based on cursor position alone).

More details are available on the preferences documentation page: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/How-to-Use-Brackets#preferences.
