IntelliJ: How to auto-highlight variables like in Eclipse

highlighting

My employer wants me to use IntelliJ for Java development. Previously, I've always used eclipse.

One of my favorite features in eclipse was being able to click on a variable, method parameter, class field, etc and see the usage of those variables highlighted throughout the class.

Is there a way to enable this feature in IntelliJ IDEA? I'm using Ultimate version 9.0.3.
