Anyone know where the setting is for when you put the cursor on a variable
name and it highlights all the variables in the file? This stopped
working for me I don't remember turning it off.

This is called "Mark Occurrences"

There is a toggle action in the editor toolbar that looks like a little
marker pen.
Its tooltip is "Toggle Mark Occurrences"

Sweet! Found it. It looks like a highlighter (which makes sense).

Thanks Darins!

This is a great feature, by the way.

Note that it can do even more than just highlight the vars. If you
select the return type (or void) it shows you all exit points of a
method and when you select the exception type in the catch-clause you'll
see where it is thrown.
