Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [X] I have searched the existing issues

### Summary

When user highlights any keyword by double clicking or selecting via cursor drag then other occurrences of that keyword should also highlights as other IDE's tend to do (screenshot attached shows VS and Eclipse)

This visually helps locating areas where those keywords are used while scrolling through a long code.

### Why should this be worked on?

Visually helps locate repetition of keywords and supports an expectation users would have from using other editor tools.
