Flags next to scroll bar to show location of found words or selected word

#1

In VS Code if you do a ctrl-F to find a word, it shows you with little flags on the scrollbar where all the instances of that word are:

find_vscode

In Sublime however, it highlights all the words but doesn’t show the flags near the scrollbar:

find_subl

Also, if you highlight a word in VS Code, it shows where that word appears in the document, again with flags:

similar_vscode

Sublime text, however, just draws a box around similar words, but doesn’t have flags near the scrollbar to indicate their position in the document:

similar_subl

What I’m wondering is: Is there a way to get flags that tell me where the found words or similar words in a document are?

There’s no way to do this in the current version of Sublime Text, but has already been implemented for the next release.

turning the minimap back on could help in the meantime, highlights show up there
