setPosition does not trigger requestOccurencesHighlight

[siddhant1]

The setPosition function moves the position of the cursor but does not highlight Occurences

@alexdima is this a bug or a feature?

@siddhant1 can you try to debug this?

[alexdima]

This is intentional. The occurrence highlighter only runs for explicit cursor gestures -- https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/d912e6c92514b3dd524fe6ff1332a06c5f1d5534/src/vs/editor/contrib/wordHighlighter/browser/wordHighlighter.ts#L332-L336

@siddhant1 You can try pretending to be the mouse and use editor.trigger('mouse', '_moveTo', { position: { column: 13, lineNumber: 1 } }). See playground example.
