Cool, but I can't configure. How i can set highlight color ?
I think this should be jEdit feature, not a plugin.

The setup for the color is not implemented yet. It's mentioned in the docs as "To do".

PS: Another feature request for the plugin. It would be nice to have an option to toggle the highlight with one shortcut.

This feature is may be realized by very trivial Beanshell code...

Hi I just updated the Highlight plugin, it will now support regexp, colors choosing, multiple highlights at the same time ...
I uploaded it here Highlight if you want to try it before the next update of the Plugin Manager.
If you find bugs, mail me at chocolat.mou@gmail.com

thanx a lot, this is really neat work!

One feature I missed for a long - to skip to next match (of the word under cursor), I have written somehow raw macro doing that.
Now with this wonderful plugin I finally finished it and would like to share here, since it's directly related.

When called, this macro hilights all matches and remembers the match in search buffer. Calling find-next will skip to next highlighted match.
I use C-F3 for this macro, Alt-F3 to remove all highlights and F3 historically to find next.

void findThisOccurrence(){
String pattern = textArea.getSelectedText();
if(pattern == null){
textArea.selectWord();
pattern = textArea.getSelectedText();
}
SearchAndReplace.setSearchString(pattern);
gatchan.highlight.HighlightPlugin.highlightThis(textArea);
}
findThisOccurrence();

I just updated the plugin, with a color cycle at the same place : http://hoyo.free.fr/highlight/1.1.0/highlight.jar

just wanted to say -- this plugin is becoming more and more useful!
