Hello !

After using other tools and languages and now again trying ultimate++ I'm experimenting some annoyances:

- No selection highlight, when selecting a word on the editor there is no automatic highlight of the same word through the rest of the code, this feature when present makes easy to see another places where that word/identifier is used.

- Error messages from compiler are hard to work as they get mixed with warnings and success messages as well, maybe a filter button to show only errors would make it easy or even highlight the errors.

- When searching the search window always jump to the bottom of the screen, using lubuntu it get's hiding partially by the status bar, I would expect it to mantain it's position.

- Why when switching from project to project it needs to recompile everything from scratch ? If we already compiled core and a lot of other packages for the same settings why we need to recompile it again and again.

- The ide do not show the whole file hierarchy, for example I open the Http.h and there is no way to see in the hierarchy window the whole file, if I click inside a class definition only the class appear, clicking outside any definition no classes appear.

- On the package window (left bottom corner) it's hard to find something there, there is no order, the hierarchy view at least has a button to show in alphabetical order.

- Help window, I expect to have an option to detach it to have a bigger view or a full screen view instead of the squiched one inside the editor.

Thats it for now, using it more with my tests will show if there is other annoyances too.

Again thanks in advance for your time, attention and great work so far !
