Luminol

Features

  • Quick file-based highlighting, navigation, and selection
  • That's it!

Screenshot

Place the cursor on a keyword and use Luminol: Toggle Highlights (from the command palette, or assign yourself a keybinding) - all full-word matches will be highlighted and everything else goes dim. Select a section of text instead and partial matches will be included.

Luminol: Move to Next/Previous will skip through the matching text. If there is no highlighting active when you use next/previous, highlights will be found as above (so you don't really need Luminol: Toggle Highlight itself).

Use Luminol: Clear Highlights or change your selection to return colors to normal.

Luminol: Highlight and Select will highlight and also select all instances of the string.

No default keybindings have been provided. I bind Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down to Move Previous/Next, and Ctrl+Shift+A is bound to Highlight and Select.

Requirements

Extension Settings

  • None. Yet.
