[Question] Is it possible to toggle highlight? #30

Hi there,

I am aware of Hi + (f). and Hi - (f) to add / remove highlight. I am wondering if there exists the functionality to highlight a word/selection if no current highlight exists, else remove the highlight, i.e., toggle the highlight. The idea to use a single keymap to quickly toggle highlight, similar to how quickhl does it. If not, I'd like to request this feature. Happy to implement it as well if you can point me in the right direction, I'm a novice in vimscript.

Thanks!

Hi Kwami, It looks interesting and I think it's a good idea! I added the following options to make it work as you described:

:h HiSetToggle

Would you like to try it? Thank you.
