feature request: make temporary highlight show across panes, just like persistent ones. #28

Closed trusktr closed 6 years ago

In your screenshots in README, it looks like it highlights across panes. But this doesn't work for me, and I don't see any setting to enable it.

Oh, I see!!! I have to call the Toggle command to make it explicit, while selecting a word only does it temporarily in the current file. Got it.

Maybe the preview should also highlight across panes, that'd be very helpful for temporary visual information. I've updated the title.

Basically, the temporary feature would be much like the highligh-selected plugin, where you can double click a word and see it highlighted across panes immediately. This is helpful for temporary visual inspection.

EDIT: Well, I guess, I can just use this and highlight-selected at the same time! That works! :)

Thanks for this!
