I use Notepad++ for all my note-taking, copying and pasting, rapid prototyping, etc. It's freaking awesome. (Just wish it had some cloud storage instead! That's another topic though.)
Now, in Notepad++, when I have a script like that below, and double-click "foobar" to select and highlight it, everywhere else "foobar" appears, it's also highlighted:
function foobar() { var _foobar = "foobar"; return _foobar; }
Is there any way to get this in Visual Studio 2010? It's more a functional than stylistic feature, programmatically, I would imagine, so I doubt it's possible in VS. But it may be, perhaps?

In Visual Studio 2019, you can put your caret on the right place and then press SHIFT ALT and . (dot). This will select the next occurrence.
Ctrl+D selects the word at the cursor, or the next occurrence of the current selection. Tip: You can also add more cursors with Ctrl+Shift+L, which will add a selection at each occurrence of the current selected text.
In visual studio code there is a command editor. action. selectHighlights Ctrl + Shift + L . It will select all occurrences of current selection.
There are extensions for VS2010 - Highlight all occurrences of selected word to highlight the same words. And Productivity power tools to highlight all occurrences even if they are in the different words.
