Can't propagate highlight selections to multiple files.

[bedge]

Often one wants to see where a set of variables are used, and this may span multiple files. If one highlights these in one file, they are not also highlighted in other open files where they occur.

While, true, one can also select and highlight the same strings in the other files, this is time consuming, and they also default to different colors. This detracts from the usefulness of the plugin.

The vim https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Highlight_multiple_words plugin works this way and is super-useful. I still resort to using vim just for this feature, as there is nothing equivalent any of the jetbrains tools.

Even if automatically highlighting in every file is not possible, it would be useful to be able to save the highlight selections from one file and load in another. eg: Save the list of highlighted words and their current colors, and load in other files to get matching highlights.
