Keep selected words highlighted after select or "find"

#1

Hello, I recently switched to sublime text (version 3114) and I really like. However there are some features from other editors I’m missing. Here’s one:

When I select a word either with the cursor or with “find”, all instances of that word are highlighted. Good. However, when I start typing the highlight disappears. I would like to keep the highlight there visible since I often need to to know where the other matches are while typing. (For reference/example, Eclipse works in this way). Is it possible to enable such feature?

Thank you- Dario

Press ctrl+f to open the find panel with the selection. Then just edit as you would normally.
