Description
I miss this feature in almost every simple text(code) editor. Maybe I've become addicted to it while using Notepad++ or Eclipse, but is very useful.
As a reference, Geany ships this as Ctrl+Shift+M hotkey. Although the Geany behavior isn't exactly what I expect, the GeanyHighlightSelectedWord plugin[1] does the job very well.
Matt, as you're also involved in Geany development, do you think this feature is viable for Mousepad? Does GtkSourceView support this out the box?
