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.
