Republished version (VS 2022 compatible) of the famous "Highlight all occurrences of selected word", originally authored by Nicholas Sha and later edited by Daniel Ames adding the ability to customize the colors, ignore commented text, and match case.

This extension makes it to where when you highlight a word, VS will highlight all occurrences of that same word in the text view. (VS already does this to an extent, but VS only does this with actual code symbols) This does it with all text just like the way Notepad++ does it.

See "Selection Highlighter++" under the Edit menu for options.
