Hello

I develop a custom language plugin. Currently, I try to understand references and find usages etc. In my custom language I can search for usages via ALT+F7 but the functionality "highlighting usages of element at caret" is not working.

What is the background of that functionality? What are the main classes which are envolved?

Cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Take a look into com.intellij.codeInsight.daemon.impl.IdentifierHighlighterPass

The general idea is to register a custom highlighting pass which registers highlighters at markup model (UpdateHighlightersUtil.setHighlightersToEditor()). The passes are automatically run by the ide on document modification.
