  • Customize Highlight Colors
  • Define "Always Highlighted Keywords" with Customized Colors

Usage

  • Highlight: Select "Edit > Highlight Words > Highlight Words" and enter the words (separated by whitespace)
  • Unhighlight: Select "Edit > Highlight Words > Unhighlight Words"
  • Toggle Settings: Select "Edit > Highlight Words > Toggle Settings"
  • Edit settings file: Select "Preferences" > "Package Settings" > "HighlightWords", copy settings from default to user, and edit settings file. Available settings are:
  • "colors_by_scope": Change the highlight colors.
