Mark Occurrences formerly had a button in the toolbar (looks like a yellow highlighter) to toggle it on/off. In fact the helps says it still does. http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Freference%2Fcdt_u_toolbar.htm But it's been missing for a while. This can be annoying to figure out how to turn off if you don't know. Because just double-clicking on a variable in the editor turns it on. I used to turn it off with Alt-shift-O but on my Mac this *also* adds an 'o' character in the file being edited. But it does turn it off. Upon further investigation (like reading the hover help on the button in the Plug-in Dev Perspective, where it still resides) maybe I'm supposed to do Alt-Cmd-O (aka Option-Cmd-O on Mac) and this does toggle it without inserting a character. I always like to show this in tutorials and I'm about to do another one. How *should* the user be turning it off - does something work consistently in all platforms? Can we put the button back into the C/C++ perspective?

Note that the button appears and enables only when a C/C++ Editor has the focus. We haven't changed that behavior for a very long time and it is exactly the same as JDT's. > I used to turn it off with > Alt-shift-O but on my Mac this *also* adds an 'o' character in the file being > edited. > But it does turn it off. > Upon further investigation (like reading the hover help on the button in the > Plug-in Dev Perspective, where it still resides) maybe I'm supposed to do > Alt-Cmd-O (aka Option-Cmd-O on Mac) > and this does toggle it without inserting a character. Since bug 298696 we have aligned key bindings with those of JDT, ie. on carbon you need to press Option+Command+O to toggle mark occurrences. > I always like to show this in tutorials and I'm about to do another one. > How *should* the user be turning it off - does something work consistently in > all platforms? > Can we put the button back into the C/C++ perspective? Are you maybe using some C/C++ Editor derivative?
Aha! you are exactly right. This is the Remote C/C++ Editor because RDT is installed. I can't believe I never thought of that Thanks; need to see how to get it fixed in the remote editor
(In reply to comment #2) > Thanks; need to see how to get it fixed in the remote editor Just add an actionSetPartAssociation extension for the RDT editor: <actionSetPartAssociation targetID="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.text.c.actionSet.presentation"> <part id="insert-rdt-editor-id-here"/> </actionSetPartAssociation>
