GeanyHighlightSelectedWord adds a feature which is quite common for editors/ide's.
Could you add it to this plugin package?
It currently works fine with Geany-1.35.
Where is it?
Also whats the difference to addons "highlight selected word" function and core "mark all"?
Sorry, forgot the link :-) https://sourceforge.net/p/geanyhighlightselectedword/code/HEAD/tree/GeanyHig...
It's actually already referenced on the plugins website on the lower left at "Third-Party plugins". https://plugins.geany.org

I'm not sure. Do you think of the "Mark" button in the search dialog (CTRL-F)? If yes: Difference is, that "Highlight selected word" is much faster to use. No switching between editor window and search window. Simply select the desired word by double clicking or using Shift-ArrowKey. I find it pretty convenient for reading code and identifying where a term (e.g. a variable name) appears.
I'm not sure. Do you think of the "Mark" button in the search dialog (CTRL-F)?
`Search->More->Mark All` of ctrl+shift+m by default
No switching between editor window and search window.

And you don't even have to select the word, the one the cursor is in is used.
Did you try the feature in the add-ons plugin?

Not so far away from HighlightSelectedWord. But I still prefer the way HighlightSelectedWord handles it. (e. g. highlight the word by selecting it instead of pressing ctrl+shift+m) But that may be considered a personal preference.
Did you try the feature in the add-ons plugin?
No, but I just did. I think I had a look into the add-ons plugin some time ago when that feature wasn't available.
It's actually pretty close to HighlightSelectedWord! I'd be totally happy if it would also work by marking a word via Shift+ArrowKey.
