Fork of http://code.google.com/p/smart-highlighting-gedit/ to enable GSettings and refactor a bit.
- Built with GObject Introspection, so works only on Gnome3
- Highlight occurrences of current selected text
- Match occurrences using regular expression
- Highlighting colors and matching options are selectable
- Match occurrences using plain text
- Multi-language support
- English
- Chinese
- Run install.sh to install plugin files, locale files, and GSettings schema file. Without the GSettings schema installed, you cannot configure the colors or other settings.
- Restart Gedit, then go to Edit->Preferences->Plugins and check the box next
to
Smart Highlighting
.
It's been years since this project was last updated, but I can confirm this plugin still works in gedit 3.18.3, the version that comes with Ubuntu 16.4 LTS.
