General
Allows to specify several lists of "terms" that will be highlighted in all editors.
Terms can be added or removed form the lists using key-shortcuts from the editor. Those terms can either apply to all editors or just the current. A lists may be empty at start, and only be used with terms added via shortcut.
The list work highlighter independent. They apply to any text in any editor.
Terminology
- Term
- A word, part of a word, sentence (several words) or any sequence of chars. Must be a single line.
- Bounds
- The begin or end of a word. A bound can either be a space before/after the matched term, the begin or end of the line, or a "none word" char (e.g. punctuation, quotes or "=")
Note: The matching of bounds, currently does not care for spaces (or other none-word chars in the search term. " Abc." will require another none-word char on each end in order to match bounds.
