General feature description
In VSCode, when editing a regular .py file, selecting a variable highlights all occurrences in the editor and shows small markers on the right-side scrollbar. However, this functionality is missing in Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb) cells.
Why this feature is useful
Makes it easier to navigate large notebooks by quickly seeing where variables or functions appear.
Improves consistency with the behavior in regular Python files.
Current behavior
Selecting a variable in a notebook cell highlights matches in the cell, but no markers appear on the scrollbar.
Expected behavior
Selecting a variable should show small markers in the right-side scrollbar for all occurrences in the notebook, similar to .py files.
Additional context
This limitation is due to Jupyter Notebook using a different editor API (not standard text editor), so editor decorations like scrollbar markers are currently not supported.
Feature request: implement support for editor decorations in notebook cells to allow this behavior. Please, realize this!🙏🏻
