Would it be possible to save Highlights?

[danielnehrig]

Title. on adding highlight maybe adding some entries in a file and the file is read on plugin load to get a save state of markers

[pocco81]

Yes it's possible, but not at the moment. I was actually discussing it with a guy under my reddit post. For now, I'll go and it to the TO-DO list and leave this issue open...

I need this feature too! I want to make a file having some mappings written in it and then viewing that file in a floating window, so basically a mappings cheatsheet thingy. something like this

it would be great to save the highlights too so I could replicate this cheatsheet thing without using whichkey.nvim

@Pocco81 Let me know when this gets implemented.

[pocco81]

@siduck76 of course, I will. If you want you could also subscribe to the issue.

Github says that I can't play the video because it's corrupt:

Could you re-upload it?

looks like was a issue with the encoding which was supported by my browser but probably not yours

[smsossah]

Hey @danielnehrig I had this working just fine and then started getting the error you received. It's a bit late so you may have already figured out a way around - I'm using packer so I managed to fix it by manually removing the plugin in the .local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/start/HighStr (Removing/uninstalling via the packer plugin manager didn't work) and deleting my packer_compiled file. Then I attempted to reinstall which worked. But this appears to be a persistent issue..
