Highlight only selected text #25

Open cibic89 opened 6 years ago

cibic89 commented 6 years ago

Hi, is there a way to highlight only selected text? If I select a block of code it highlights words within. Have both "...match whole words" and "highlight matches if surrounded by non-word characters..." off although the latter is off.

Do you mean a way to not have the little lines between each word? Unfortunately I haven't been able to think of a way to do this yet 😞 The problem is that the highlighting is accomplished by CodeMirror applying CSS classes to existing elements, which are all separate. As a result, a background-colour highlight works fine, but a border ends up around each individual word/element...

Yes, when I switch to that the problem is gone. Works fine for me!
