Highlight Search Fields in LPEX like Java inside Eclipse

When you highlight a item in Java inside Eclipse, it highlights all the occurrence of that word. Why not also do this inside LPEX? More standard. Thx


Use Case:

Eclipse already does it in Java, just add it to RPGLE.

    This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.

    Just to make things clear, this Eclipse functionality is language-dependent, but with the live model work done for RPG live outline view this is a lot more possible for RPG.
