How do I toggle the highlighting of "matching words" for C/C++ in the text editor?
I found a similar question for "Visual Basic" and "C#".
I am unable to find the option(s) for "C/C++".
Go to menu, TOOLS, Options, Text Editor, C/C++, Advanced, and change the “Disable Reference Highlighting” option.
In Options, go to Text Editor \ C/C++ \ View
. Then go down to Miscellaneous
and finally Highlight Matching Tokens
. Alternatively go to the Options and type Matching
in the search bar and it'll do the same thing.
