Monodevelop Highlight not working?

[Kip336]

Hello guys.

I’ve started fiddling with Unity and monodevelop a few days ago, have been watching and reading lots of tutorials and hope that some day, I might even be able to make a game somewhat worthy of sharing with someone else.

I’ve noticed in many tutorials that whenever someone clicks on a piece of code, it highlights it, and the other instances of that code in monodevelop.
With barely any experience, this would be a very usefull feature for me to have!

I’ve searched around and found that I need to turn on “Highlight Identifier references” under tools/settings/text editor / markers and rules, and to turn on "Enable (Symantic) highlighting under Syntax highlighting. But I still don’t get any highlighting of code?

I’ve got monodevelop 4.0.1 at any rate (I’ve also seen many complains about this version :P)

Thanks so much for the help!

I feel kinda dumb for asking this now, but turns out I had to click, and then stop and do nothing for a few seconds to get it to highlight things, instead of clickin and moving my mouse away
Sorry 'bout that.

You may need to play around with different Syntax Highlighting schemes to see an obvious effect. I have noticed that some schemes give a more pronounced highlight than others. I settled on using the Oblivion scheme for now as it gives a clear highlight of the current variable/identifier/whatever under the text cursor, more like what I’m used to with Eclipse. Hope this helps.
