IntelliJ navigate to next and previous highlighted variable
- F3 or shift+F3
- ctrl+c, ctrl+f, enter or up and down arrows
- ctrl+alt+F7
Added this in case people don't look at your edit.
It's not currently possible, see my question: Shortcut to navigate between highlighted usages.
I even created an issue IDEA-70523 addressing this feature, please vote for it if you can't live without it like me :-).
Install Identifier Highlighter Reloaded and use Alt + Shift + Up/Down (can be redefined in Keymap settings) :)
After you give it a shot and notice the 'hey, the highlight stays there after I move my cursor out of it' annoyance, consider upvoting this issue :)
Vote this request up for make them implement the feature.
