Eclipse Plugin for Brightscript

Two last feature requests/observations, then I'll zip it (for the day)... 😉

I'm not sure if it's possible for a plugin to do this or not, but there's one feature that I use a lot in both Notepad++ and in Visual Studio that doesn't appear to be available in Eclipse. When highlighting a word, all other instances of that word are also highlighted in a lighter color. This makes it really easy to identify everywhere a variable is used in a file. In Visual Studio it's limited to the current scope of the highlighted variable, whereas in Notepad++ it's every occurrence. While the former is definitely handy, I'm kind of partial to the latter. Along those same lines, I've noticed that double-clicking a word highlights all non-whitespace, whereas ideally, it would stop at any non-word character instead (a period, to be more specific). Both of these are probably core Eclipse functionality, and not something you have control over, but I thought it worth mentioning, as they're two features that are pretty important to my development style/comfort.

Good ideas - I'll add these to the to-do list.
I'm pretty sure I had the "automatically highlight all other instances on select" feature working at one point early in development (last year), but it appears it's been broken.
The "select only to non-word character boundaries on double-click" is definitely something under plugin control. I'll likely make this something configurable by adding a section or page to the user preferences.
