Bring Back Automatic Variable Recognition!

Status: New

Moving from CVI 2017 to 2019, I really miss the feature where, in 2017, if the editor cursor was placed within the confines of any variable name, uses of that variable would be highlighted in all the locations it is being used on the display. With 2019 that same feature exists, but you now have to select the entire name of the variable as opposed to just having the single cursor within the confines of the variable name. It really slows things down for me.

 

I still use 2017 a lot of times for that reason, along with the lack of a line delineating the editor proper from the breakpoint diamond vertical area. I can't count how many times I've clicked and defined a breakpoint when all I wanted to do was have the editor cursor to the full left of the display. Argh E10!
