Access via Keyboard
Assign a shortcut to VAssistX.FindSelected to highlight instances of the current selection or, when there is no selection, of the word under the caret, without opening the Find dialog. Use of a shortcut in this manner does not require that 'Highlight results of Quick Find and Find in Files' be checked -- use of the command assumes highlights are desired regardless of the state of the checkbox.
Highlight Color
Select the highlight color in the options dialog of the IDE.
