highlight-symbol is a way to quickly highlight and navigate between symbols.
-----

It will temporarily highlight all occurrences of the current symbol and also allows one-button manual highlighting.  It's available on my [http://nschum.de/src/emacs/highlight-symbol/ website].  -- [[nschum]]

* [[ShowWhiteSpace#HighlightChars|Highlight Characters]]
* HighLight -- Set option `hlt-auto-faces-flag' to `t' if you want each highlighted symbol to automatically use the next face/color from option `hlt-auto-face-backgrounds' (similar to `##highlight-symbol.el##' behavior)
* %%AutoHighlightSymbolMode%%: https://github.com/jcs-elpa/auto-highlight-symbol
* In Emacs 24.4, `##M-s h .##' will be bound to `highlight-symbol-at-point'

====Problems====
* If the highlighted symbol has an overlay with dark background, the highlight is not visible.
