** [feature-requests:#121] Highlight occurences**
**Status:** pending
**Group:** None
**Created:** Wed Aug 24, 2016 12:51 PM UTC by Bernd Sahre

**Problem statement:** If a user sets his cursor to a variable, object,
parameter or method, Eclipse highlights all occurences in the editor.
Unfortunately, other users cannot see these highlights, which the first user
tends to be unaware of and may start talking about the occurences without
his/her partner(s) begin able to follow.
**Idea:** It would be desiderable that all other users in the session could see
this occurences marked by that first user.
**Considerations:**
* There should be no interference between remote and local highlights.
* If two or even more developers simultaneously set their cursor on a variable,
those highlights could get confusing. To the very least, each highlight should
be traceable to the user from whom it originated, e.g. by coloring it
accordingly. Overall, this needs to be tried out practically -- maybe this
feature should be limited to the follow mode?
* Eclipse allows to toggle the local feature ("Toggle Mark Occurences",
ALT+SHIFT+O). Maybe there should be second toggle button for these remote
highlights?
