Answer 2

You can use SmartHighlighter. This answer is from the https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/3116

Steps

1. Download the latest release of the plugin from https://github.com/sieukrem/jn-npp-plugin/releases

   • If notepad++ folder is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++ download the file with _x86.zip suffix

   • If notepad++ folder is in C:\Program Files\Notepad++ download the file with _x64.zip suffix

     From here on if your installation is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++ just replace C:\Program Files\Notepad++. Procedure is same in both cases.

2. Create a new folder at C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins with name jN
3. Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file to C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\jN

4. Optionally, jN plugin includes other components also. So to disable all components of the jN plugin except for Smart Highlighter, Go to C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\jN\includes and keep only below files:

   Dialog.js  
   MenuCmds.js  
   SmartHighlighter.js  
   

   and move the rest of the .js files to disabled folder.
   C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\jN\includes\disabled

5. Now close and reopen your Notepad++.
6. Now try selecting a repeated word and check the bar next to your scrollbar. That's it.
