Group highlight: Allow to highlight arbitrary words in same color #29

This is not a bug report but a suggestion for enhancement: I use Atom to write text (no code). As far as I am aware there is no package which allows me to highlight random words all in the same colour. Accordingly, it would be awesome if I could clear only the highlighting for a certain group of words which all have the same colour.

For my purposes it would be an improvement if there would only be one highlight colour even though that would not allow me to do what I described above (different colors for different self selected groups of words). I managed to do this by editing the quick-highlight.less file. If anyone wants to replicate this: search for @color01/02/03 etc in the uick-highlight.less file and change all of those (or only for one kind of highlighting (e.g. underline)) to one color, e.g. @color01)).
