Recent change notes:Recompile with java 6.General usage instructions:The plugin adds two actions \"Next Identifier\" bound to \"shift alt DOWN\" and \"Previous Identifier\" bound to \"shift alt UP\".Please be aware that those mappings are by default mapped to \"Move line\" actions, so you will need to modify your settings in Keymap section. |

Comments:
this plugin would be perfect without highlighting.
This is definitely possible, i'm just too lazy to implement it properly and am happy with the way it works now :).
Feel free to fork a project on github and submit a pull request, or I can add you as a collaborator.
But this is not how the "Highlight Usages in File" command works. It keeps the highlight around until you explicitly clear it (or, in the case of your plugin, until the next time you execute the next/prev action).
It'd be nice if it could jump to the next highlight without having to use the Find Usages function. But since I'm not familiar with the plugin API I have no idea whether this is even possible.
I'm not 100% sure what you mean saying "if the highlight color didn't change and then stay highlighted until cleared".
Is it just the color of highlighting that bothers you? Or do you want to be able to navigate between different identifiers, like if you do "Highlight Usages" several times and then use "Next/Prev" ?
Oleg.
The only downside I would mention is that this is really just a one-key shortcut for: Clear Highlights + Highlight Usages + Next/Prev Highlight. It would be really nice if the highlight color didn't change and then stay highlighted until cleared, as it does with Highlight Usages.
The option you are referring to just highlights the element, the plugin adds ability to easily navigate between highlighted usages.
Both features were available in the original IdentifierHighlighter, but the latter was not ported into core IDEA.
My first question would be. What does this improve over the existing "identifier highlight usages of element at caret option"
