Highlight words are being treated as case sensitive.

[zoredache]

I have the pattern zore set in my highlight words. If someone communicating me uses ZORE, or zoRE, or anything else other than zore then I will not get a highlight.

Please do one of the following.

• make globally insensitive.
• make it optionally globally case insensitive.
• or make it optional per-pattern.

IMO the best option would be to just apply RegexOptions.IgnoreCase to all highlightword patterns. Since you have decided to escape everything I provide, you seem to be trying to make this user-friendly. So make it more user-friendly, and make it case insensitive. It is very annoying to have my attempts to do something like /[aA][bB][cC]/ to get a case insensitive search escaped away, and also not be able to provide a pattern that would be case insensitive.

On method might be to permit passing regex options similar to sed at the end of the regex.

You are right, you can use regex but not provide regex options like /foo/i, I will look into this. By default it shouldn't be case sensitive, like regular highlight words, but be case insensitive.
