Highlighting the word under the main cursor automatically. #3436

@septemhill please look at the screenshot one more time. |
This is somewhat possible with the Language Server using LSP documentHighlight #2738 which creates selections for all occurences of the symbol under the cursor. There isn't a way for those to be highlighted and not selected though and it only works for languages with Language Servers running |
Is helix an editor for coding only? Everything is built around LSP. Sometimes you have a plain text file. |
Development focus so far has been focused on language-aware integrations like LSP, DAP or tree-sitter since that's what contributors are most interested in working on. Fallbacks for when language-aware tools are not available are within scope for the project though. If it's something important to you then it sounds like a nice opportunity to contribute. There are some open issues like #1015 although that one has some PRs already |
That's unrelated and would be closer to #2857 implementation wire and would have little/nothing to do with this issue |
