Hello, is there a way/plugin to extend word highlighting to files in other columns/groups? Thanks
Highlight word in all groups
Not sure what you mean here…
Do you want to update the syntax definition, or the color scheme? If you’re not sure about what those word mean, have a look here, you’ll see them fairly often on this forum
by word highlighting, you mean when you select a word and the other instances of that word are highlighted in the current view, right? I don’t know of any settings that can span it across the layout to apply to other groups/columns/rows, but maybe a package like https://packagecontrol.io/packages/WordHighlight could do it - if it doesn’t, maybe suggest it as an optional feature
actually it seems it has such a request already, so currently won’t help: https://github.com/SublimeText/WordHighlight/issues/70
Multi pane highlights
Thanks, I meant exactly that. That plugin won’t help (I can’t even make it work properly, it just shows dots on the gutter without highlighting anything), anyway only works for the current file. It is actually possible to do it without plugins, if I select a word, activate the find panel, then click on other views, but it’s very uncomfortable.
