I'm using Visual Studio Code with two windows (panes) side-by-side. To avoid confusion, here is a screenshot:

I'm using "editor.selectionHighlight": true, which you can see is working in the left (active) window. A similar solution is proposed in this question with editor.action.selectHighlights, but that works only in the active window. I tried searching but all my searches resulted in what I'm already using.

When I was using Atom, I was using a "Highlight Selection" plugin which highlighted matches from all open windows.

Is there a way, either native (preferred) or via an extension, to make selection highlighting work in all open windows?

  • seems not https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/30014, some comments say the https://github.com/xucongli1989/highlight-icemode extension provides this feature, but it did not work for me – acristu Oct 17 '22 at 13:50
