Can anyone recommend a Visual Studio 2015 addon that mimics the awesomeness that is RockScroll/MetalScroll/RockMargin?

It looks like the amazing awesome person that made RockMargin hasn't looked at it for a couple years.

Basically if you double click a word it highlights all words that match it. And it shows a mini-map of your code in place of the scroll bar.

  • I don't use RockMargin, and whenever I highlight a word all others in the page are selected in the editor and the scroll margin. I've got Productivity Power Tools and VSCommands. – Mathemats Nov 20 '15 at 04:02

It's built in! :) (I literally just found out)

VS 2015 
-> Tools 
  -> Options 
    -> Text Editor 
      -> All Languages 
        -> Scroll Bars 
          -> Behaviour

"Use map mode for vertical scroll bar"

  • Thank you; been using this feature for a while, but on a new machine was unable to find where this option was. – tronster Sep 23 '16 at 14:06

    More or less... It's missing features, one basic for me is to show me the matched words or find text. Such a bummer – Neithan Max Jan 05 '17 at 01:00
  • This also works on VS 2017, at least on the Enterprise edition. – Diomedes Domínguez Apr 05 '17 at 14:57

    @Carles Alcolea the extension you want for VS2017 to show matched words in the margin is Match Margin: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioProductTeam.MatchMargin – Wad May 02 '17 at 16:48
