Xcode Editor: Highlight instance of selected symbol

Xcode does not highlight the selected instance in the editor.

Xcode - Text Editing preference has an option to enable/disable selected code/symbol highlight. And it's enabled there, but it still doesn't work in the editor.

Here is a snapshot of my editor code, with the selected instance.

I'm using Xcode 9.3-beta2.

Here is a similar question, but it's related to changing the highlight color: Make Xcode highlight selected symbol more

Solution

  • Did you try just to click on a symbol? If I do that it will highlight all instances. Below I just placed the cursor on NSNotificationCenter by clicking on it. So, do not select the word, only place the cursor in it.
