Request: Highlight current symbol? about symbol-overlay HOT 6 CLOSED

这个应该需要语法分析

如果当前的是变量 就得找函数

如果当前的是函数 就得找他的返回值 及封装函数

你最好给点示例代码

Did you try (symbol-overlay-mode 1)?
I think the REAME should be updated.

Yes, it won't highlight the symbol under point if it's the only symbol.

I'm curious about why you find this behaviour helpful in highlight-symbol. Could you say more please?

I've never personally noticed this behaviour being confusing, and it gives me a visual clue that there is no match for the current symbol, which is actually helpful.

You can always actively highlight the current symbol using symbol-overlay-put, which works regardless of the number of occurrences.

Definitely! One thing I like about the highlight is that a lot of functions/utility can/may operate on the current symbol (e.g. ag-at-point/rg-at-point/etc) so it's nice to know exactly what I'll be searching for before I do the search. (Sometimes the symbol boundaries don't line up exactly with what I'd want to search so it's nice to know beforehand.)

I think with the default for symbol-overlay, it's only if symbols are in view, right? You can change the setting I guess but those two together makes it a little awkward.

Fixed by the merging of #67, thanks @sadboy
