Option suggestion: ignore word boundry, highlight all occurrences of selection when selection not empty

[JonasNo]

When the option is on: It will do normal word highlighting but when the user selects some text. All the occurrences of the text will be highlighted ignoring word_separators.

Additional limited could be added to not degrade speed for slow computers:

• Minimum text selection length
• Delay before selection (different from "highlight_delay")

That sounds like an awesome feature and I just found out about this plugin. I'll see what I can do to help if no one's working on this yet.

No one is working on the suggestion. Please go ahead and work on it.

Is there the way to make in Sublime Auto Highlight for the same "as selected parts of the text" and "substrings/subsequences"? "WordHighlight" plugin highlights only whole words, not sequence of the any chars (for example: parts of two words devided with space). I need highliting of the text parts like ALT+F3 can do it, but this combo selects text for editing. I need only coloring of the same sequences of the chars I selected (not for editing, only coloring and highlight to quick find the same instances i selected "On Fly" when text selection appears and disappear).

This is fixed. See https://github.com/SublimeText/WordHighlight/issues/55.

Sorry, I forgot about this. This specific issue is not fixed. This issue relates to partial selections.

Example: Select partial the word, partials should be partially highlighted

Edit: this is why there was a suggestion for an option for "Minimum text selection length" Also, I'm pretty busy with work, so I'm not sure I'll have time to update the code and submit a pull request.
