Hi,
I'm a relatively new-coming Keil user.
I'd like to know if it's possible to enable a reference highlighting feature in Keil uVision.
This also reminds me that a reference search option is not available too.
These two really make life easier when your code size gets larger in time even if you divide into smaller modules.
Reference highlighting is explained here in this MS Visual Studio support page: msdn.microsoft.com/.../ee349251(v=vs.100).aspx
Find All tool "kind of" make up for "Search References" (if not completely). But I couldn't find a solution for highlighting. It really makes reading code a lot easier. You feel in control somehow when you see references.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Emre
Well, sort of.
If you right-click a symbol, there's a 'Go To Reference' option.
There's also the Source Browser:

In some situations, it's nice to get highlight similar to what Code::Blocks gives - mark one the symbol hello and all places with "hello" gets highlighted.
But in some situations, it kills focus because it draws attention when I want my focus on the specific line I'm editing.
So it isn't easy to have a single "one size fits" solution. Same with code completion - can sometimes be nice, but if you are a fast typist it is often irritating that the dialog shows up while the brain has already processed all instructions to type the full word.
