IntelliJ: How to auto highlight variables usage in javascript file

I really like how IntelliJ highlight variables in my Java class.

Is there a way to enable this feature for the javascript files?

I'm using IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 15.

Support for Web Development is most advanced in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition (see https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/). If I look at a simple JavaScript file in the Ultimate Edition, variables are highlighted by default:

The same file in IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition does not have variable highlighting:

If you are using the Community Edition, you could give the Ultimate Edition a try to see whether you like it. JetBrain offers a free 30-day trial of the Ultimate Edition.
