How to highlight words by input?

#1

Hello. I’m using Sublime Text 3
Can’t understand, how can I turn on the highlighting other occurrences of the word while inputting.
For example, when I start typing word “Hello”, Sublime Text 3 will highlight other occurrences of this word and when I end typing “Hello” and hit Spacebar or any other special key, it will end highlighting. Works like Autocomplete, but only highlights the same words in text while inputting a new word. How can I enable this feature?
Or it will be great to have this :slight_smile:
If Sublime can’t do that, where can I find the guy who will make this little plugin for me? :wink: Thanks.

The WordHighlight Plugin, available via Package Control or on Github: https://github.com/SublimeText/wordhighlight294 helps me a lot. But it’s not the same as I want, because it highlights same words after the completing word input (not WHILE inputting), so I lose some seconds to complete the word. In better case (as I want) I will save more time when I only begin typing a word and plugin already highlights all matched CHARACTER combinations. Any idea how to do that?

my guess is you’ll need to adapt that plugin or write your own, if nothing already provides this functionality out the box

I understood, now I’m finding a coder who can helps me (maybe not for free). I already wrote Tito (author of WordHighlight plugin), but for now is no answer from him, I’m waiting for it.
Thanks for a help.
