Highlight all instances of the selected word

Hi, thanks so much for developing CudaText. I've been trying to replace Notepad++ with CudaText as it feels snappier to use. Everything that I needed to modify, so the transition feels smooth and the quality of life features already in Notepad++, I got to do it except one thing. If I double click a word in Notepad++ all the occurrences of that word in the current opened text are highlighted and I find that very useful.
But even when I've been looking throught the default.json for some days I can't seem to find the option that enables that in CudaText or maybe it's missing. Could someone point me in the right direction? Maybe I can help to get it done.

… and welcome on the board!

Ah, of course, a plugin. Thanks so much.
Looks like I don't need to double click (select) the whole word and it works just by putting the caret inside a word.

Cheers
