      Coming to Notepad++ ( v 7.3.2 32 bit ) from UltraEdit.
      I would like the current function name highlighted within the function list based on where my cursor is in the edit window.

      For example, I search for a variable name and find it buried in a long function. I would like the function list window to highlight which function I am currently in based on the cursor location.

      Is that possible?

        The TagsView plugin (https://sourceforge.net/projects/tagsview/files/) does this and much more.

          Thanks. Tried TagView on a C++ file and it works great.
          Can it work for a user defined language?

            The title of this page is: How to Add Support for a New Language to Exuberant Ctags

            C:\Users\poi\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\TagsView\EXTENDING.html

            and TagView is based on ctags
