Colors don't work for text files #3

Closed przemo509 closed 2 years ago

Hi,

This plugin looks very promising but it doesn't work for no-code files, like some txt or log files.

Lets assume I have a file like this: image

I want to highlight string "cc" in one color and string "dd" in other. So I mark one of "cc" occurrences and press shortcut Ctrl+'. Then I get this result: image

It looks like regular Find tool. Now I mark "dd" and press Ctrl+' again. I get this: image

This is just regular Find regexp tool and all matching occurrences are highlighted in the same default green color. For a java file everything works like a charm. Simply I would like to reproduce behavior of Notepad++ (mark some text, not necessarily whole word -> right click -> Style token)

Thanks, Przemek

It used to work for my Scala source files, but after an update to IntelliJ it stopped working. Java still works great. I'm happy to look into a fix, can you point me in the right direction?

I've had something similar in Grep Console plugin, now I needed this so I implemented it.

+1 for this feature, is this plugin still under maintain? Looks like no more commit since 2017

+1 as well, this is a great plugin, it's a pity it doesn't work with regular text files opened in the IDE
