additional options for `editor.selectionHighlight`
See original GitHub issue- VSCode Version: 1.2.1
- OS Version: OS X 10.11.4
Having the current word highlighted is convenient, but too distracting when moving around and accidentally leaving the cursor on a keyword (e.g. let .. in
in OCaml).
Turning it off, one has to fall back to search and lose the previous results.
Maybe it would make sense to introduce options to:
- only highlight if a whole word is selected (i.e. e.g. with a double click)
- only highlight non-keyword words
- only highlight identifiers

+1 needed to disable this because highlighting all matches of a single character is just too distracting to justify having it on for the useful cases
