I miss this feature in almost every simple text(code) editor. Maybe I've become addicted to it while using Notepad++ or Eclipse, but is very useful. As a reference, Geany ships this as Ctrl+Shift+M hotkey. Although the Geany behavior isn't exactly what I expect, the GeanyHighlightSelectedWord plugin[1] does the job very well. Matt, as you're also involved in Geany development, do you think this feature is viable for Mousepad? Does GtkSourceView support this out the box? 1 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/geanyhighlightselectedword/
