Added 07/04/2024 - not sure about this but giving it a go for a week or two.
This is a simple plugin that highlights all words that match current word under cursor (see screenshot).
geany-plugin-vimode
I do not use vimode because I don't think it works well. But you can use a keybind in Preferences=>Keybindings In fact, if you have a Plugin enabled (i.e. Tree-browser) you can set custom keybindings within the plugin.
