Description

Marks words that match the highlighted selection

Additional Information

Joplin Highlight Matching Plugin

This plugin highlights words that match what the user has highlighted in the editor.

Usage

Simply toggle the plugin on and highlight a word, matching strings will also be highlighted.

The plugin activates the CodeMirror addon search/match-highlighter with the default options set. The background highlighting is provided by CSS matching the new CSS class of .cm-matchhighlight. This can be overridden using CSS in userchrome.css with the !important option.

Customising

Currently the options for match-highlight are hard coded but I'll be looking at exposing some of them to the Joplin settings in a future version.

Known issues & limitations

• Can't currently see a way of only highlighting if the highlighted word occurs >1 - default behaviour of the addon is to apply .cm-matchhightlight to anything highlighted.
• Does not respect the application theme yet - by default the highlight match is the same colour as provided by the default light theme highlight colour. See the usage section to amend the highlight colour manually. For reference:
  • Light mode = #d7d4f0
  • Dark mode = #6b6b6b
