      Use the search facility:
      Search \t
      Set search mode to Extended
      Find all in current document
      Mark all -> Using style #

      cool, thats helpful.

      next question, is it possible to do this when defining a language or syntax? so that everytime tab is pressed, it highlights it? much like a keyword or comment.

      That won't work. However, something similar will be achieved activating View->Show symbol->Show indent guide. Set the Indent guideline style foreground to something you can spot at a glance, in the Global Styles for the Styler Configurator. Don't forget making changes to all the themes you use.
