Mark plugin

Highlight every occurrence of a term at once with a styled mark, so all matches stay visible while you work — unlike Find, which steps between matches one at a time. Marks persist until you clear them.

Where to find it

The Search menu:

Command Shortcut What it does
Mark… Opens the Mark dialog (full options below).
Mark All Selection Ctrl+Alt+M Marks every occurrence of the current selection — no dialog.
Clear All Marks Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M Removes all marks.

The Mark dialog

Search ▸ Mark… opens a Notepad++-style dialog:

  • Find what — the term to mark, with a drop-down of recent queries.
  • Search mode:
    • Normal — a literal substring.
    • Extended — literal, but backslash escapes (\n, \t, \r, \0, \xNN) are decoded first.
    • Regular expression — an ECMAScript-style regex.
  • Match case — make the match case-sensitive.
  • Match whole word — only mark matches bounded by non-word characters.
  • Mark All paints every match; Clear removes the marks.

The query and options are shared with the editor's search state, so a term you mark is ready to Find next, and vice-versa.

Quickest path

Select a word and press Ctrl+Alt+M to mark every occurrence instantly, without opening the dialog.
