I've enabled instance highlighting in Eclipse but I'm still missing one of
my favorite features of Intellij's IDEA which is the ability to navigate
to the next / previous instance in Java source code.
Ctrl-K is not cutting it for me since it is not aware of the semantics of
whatever is highlighted. Clearly, Eclipse knows where all instances are of
a variable, but the ability to navigate between them continues to elude
me. Can this obvious feature really be missing?
Please let me know if it's possible!
Thanks,
Alex

Hi. I found the first explanation a little cryptic. Here is a more
detailed explanation. Look at the toolbar above the edit view. On it,
you will see a yellow down arrow and up arrow. Next to these is a
pull-down menu that lists a number of words starting with Bookmarks. By
default, I think, Occurrences is unchecked. If you check this, then you
can use these arrows or Ctrl+. / Crtl+, to move to next and previous
occurrence. Hope this helps. Mark

A similar feature is Search > Occurrences In File (Ctrl+Shift+U) which
will show you the results in the Search view. The benefit of this is
that the results stay while moving the caret around in the editor.
