Highlight the current word minor mode
M-x current-word-highlight-mode or M-x global-current-word-highlight-mode Enabling it in a hook is recommended. But you don't want it enabled for all buffers, just programming ones. Example: (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'current-word-highlight-mode) I referred to idle-highlight-mode(by Phil Hagelberg, Cornelius Mika) for highlighting and commentary.
