This is a mirror of http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2666 DESCRIPTION This plugin adds mappings and a :Mark command to highlight several words in different colors simultaneously, similar to the built-in 'hlsearch' highlighting of search results and the * command. For example, when you are browsing a big program file, you could highlight multiple identifiers in parallel. This will make it easier to trace the source code. This is a continuation of vimscript #1238 by Yuheng Xie, who apparently doesn't maintain his original version anymore and cannot be reached via the email address in his profile. This plugin offers the following advantages over the original: - Much faster, all colored words can now be highlighted, no more clashes with syntax highlighting (due to use of matchadd()). - Many bug fixes. - Jumps behave like the built-in search, including wrap and error messages. - Like the built-in commands, jumps take an optional [count] to quickly skip over some marks. RELATED WORKS - MultipleSearch (vimscript #479) can highlight in a single window and in all buffers, but still relies on the :syntax highlighting method, which is slower and less reliable. - http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_multiple_words offers control over the color used by mapping the 1-9 keys on the numeric keypad, persistence, and highlights only a single window. - highlight.vim (vimscript #1599) highlights lines or patterns of interest in different colors, using mappings that start with CTRL-H and work on cword. - quickhl.vim (vimscript #3692) can also list the matches with colors and in addition offers on-the-fly highlighting of the current word (like many IDEs do). HIGHLIGHTING <Leader>m Mark the word under the cursor, similar to the star command. The next free highlight group is used. If already on a mark: Clear the mark, like <Leader>n. {Visual}<Leader>m Mark or unmark the visual selection. <Leader>r Manually input a regular expression to mark. {Visual}<Leader>r Ditto, based on the visual selection. <Leader>n Clear the mark under the cursor. If not on a mark: Disable all marks, similar to :nohlsearch. :Mark {pattern} Mark or unmark {pattern}. :Mark Disable all marks, similar to :nohlsearch. Marks will automatically re-enable when a mark is added or removed, or a search for marks is performed. :MarkClear Clear all marks. In contrast to disabling marks, the actual mark information is cleared, the next mark will use the first highlight group. This cannot be undone. :Marks Print all marks. :MarkList [b|bv] List all marks SEARCHING [count]* [count]# [count]<Leader>* [count]<Leader># [count]<Leader>/ [count]<Leader>? Use these six keys to jump to the [count]'th next / previous occurrence of a mark. You could also use Vim's / and ? to search, since the mark patterns are (optionally, see configuration) added to the search history, too. Cursor over mark Cursor not over mark --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Leader>* Jump to the next occurrence of Jump to the next occurrence of current mark, and remember it "last mark". as "last mark". <Leader>/ Jump to the next occurrence of Same as left. ANY mark. * If <Leader>* is the most recently Do Vim's original * command. used, do a <Leader>*; otherwise (<Leader>/ is the most recently used), do a <Leader>/. MARK PERSISTENCE The marks can be kept and restored across Vim sessions, using the viminfo file. For this to work, the "!" flag must be part of the 'viminfo' setting: set viminfo+=! " Save and restore global variables. :MarkLoad Restore the marks from the previous Vim session. All current marks are discarded. :MarkSave Save the currently defined marks (or clear the persisted marks if no marks are currently defined) for use in a future Vim session.
