This Sublime Text plugin allows temporarily and persistently marking all occurrences of selected words in a color; multiple marked selections can be added simultaneously, each marking the selections with different colors.
Optionally (enabled by default) it also highlights all copies of a word that currently has the insertion cursor upon it or which is currently selected.
Simply use Alt+Space to mark selected text.
