I get this functionality by default with WebStorm. On clicking a closing bracket, it temporarily displays the line with the opening bracket on top of the editor (if the line is not within the viewport) and hides it when I click somewhere else. I don't have to jump to the matching opening bracket to see it.
I have no idea what this functionality is called and I looked up many possibilities and couldn't find anything. Please help!

Just tried searching for a keyword in an XSLT file and it returned no results, despite highlighting the word about a dozen times in the file anyway.
Visual Studio clearly thinks the word cannot be found in the file, yet to the left you can see it's also highlighted matching text. "Find" and "Find All" return the same results. I haven't made any changes to my settings, so I don't know where to go prodding for search options to see if something's been changed by company policy or some other similarly daft reason.
I think you might be running up against a slight anomaly in the Quick Find functionality. When you first select Quick Find, if you have text selected in the editor window, the selected text appears as the search phrase and all instances are highlighted. But if you turn on a filter (such as Case Sensitive or Whole Word), some (possibly all) of the highlighted text instances no longer match the search string.
Try this:
Highlight a word in your code.
Click Find and Replace > Quick Find. All instances of the word are highlighted.
Now turn on Match Case, and change one letter in the search box so it is a capital letter.
Click Find. All instances of the word remain highlighted, but the "No results" dialog appears.
The problem is compounded by the fact that the little filter icons in the Quick Find window are difficult to interpret.
So I'm coding in VIM, and I ran into a strange problem. I closed out of my source code, but when I opened it back up, a lot of my curly brackets are highlighted in yellow, and I can't seem to fix it. The closing brackets are matched up with opening brackets, so I don't see what the issue is.
Here is a picture of the problem:
How can I fix this?
Did you do a search for the closing bracket?
Try the following, in command mode
:set nohlsearch
You can use :noh to turn off highlighting of previously searched term.
You can do set nohl that will turn off the highlighting for the session. Reopening will highlight again.
To fix that, search anything that you don't like, for instance /""
Just now I was working on a fancy search and replace regular expression.
It looked good so I tested it on one entry then went to the editing area and the search and replace box went away.
I reopened the search and replace box to continue, but the selected text in the edit window replaced my search expression.
Control Z in the search box did not go back to my regex but undid the last change in the editing area.
I can't seem to find a way to get back to previous regexes in the find box. Is there any way? Googling turned up nothing.
Currently, Adobe Brackets doesn't maintain any kind of history of search and replace expressions. The feature is still missing.
I have a problem about find and replace in notepad++
I want to find a space+space in text and replace with just one space. But my area i want to find and replace is between start function and close function (ex: <div>...</div>). My file is .xml so it have alot of function.
So please help me. Thanks for your great help :)
Highlight the selected area, Ctrl+F for Find, hit the Replace tab, make sure the In Selection box beside Replace All is ticked.
Is it possible to run a regex snippet in Sublime text. Either by using a keyboard bind, or by creating a package?
The expression is
^\s*$
And it removes all double RETURNs/Lines in a document. Very handy for the OCD in me.
Any help, hints, tips or suggestions on this are more than welcome.
Thank you
You can hit Ctrl+H, for 'replace', this brings up a box at the bottom of the screen, click the .* button, enter ^\s*$, and it'll find all double enters, and you can replace them with whatever.
or there is a plugin that looks pretty powerful that should also allow you to do this called RegReplace.
