Hi, the regex or the pattern is interactively input by user, thought one should be also highlight symbol under cursor without inputing regex. The colors might be built-in or configurable. When highlighting, colors might be selectable or automatically selected. I think It may be possible to just re-use the current search interface by adding a "Highlight matches", or use other interaction. Below is several demos:
Note that highlighting does not necessary mean selecting. But it will be helpful to have the ability turn highlights into selections like mc.mov |
