Highlight Yellow Only

A minimalist VS Code extension that adds right-click options for highlighting text in yellow. Ideal for note-taking, temporary emphasis, or visual tagging during code review.


✨ Features

  • Highlight Yellow
    Select any text → right-click → choose “Highlight Yellow” to apply a soft yellow background.

  • Unhighlight
    Clears all yellow highlights from the current file.

  • Highlight All Matches
    Automatically highlights all occurrences of the currently selected text in yellow.

  • Persistent Highlights
    Highlights are saved per file and restored when you reopen them.


🛠 Usage

  1. Install the extension:

    code --install-extension highlight-yellow-only.zip
    
  2. In any file:

    • Select some text
    • Right-click → choose:
      • Highlight Yellow
      • Unhighlight
      • Highlight All Matches
  3. Your highlights remain visible until manually cleared.


💡 Tip

To avoid clutter, only one color is available — yellow. This keeps the workflow clean and focused.
