🛠️ Setup

Before using the tool, configure its behavior in Textify Preferences:

• Highlight Mode:

  • Auto: If a search term is entered, it highlights all matches for that term. If not, it highlights matches of the current selection.

  • Find Text: Highlights only the matches of the active search term.

  • Selection: Highlights all occurrences of the selected text, regardless of search input.

• Case Sensitive: Match only text that shares the same capitalization as the selected or searched word.

• Show in Scrollbar: Toggles small indicators on the scrollbar, giving you a quick visual overview of all occurrences.

• Color: Choose a predefined highlight color theme, or select Custom to define your own:

  • Background color of the highlight

  • Foreground (text) color

  • Scrollbar indicator color
