vim-cursorword's Issues

When you move the cursor or modify the text, the highlight flashes.

This is a good plug-in. When I use it, I find that the highlight flickers in the following two cases:

1. When I move the cursor.
2. When I edit the text.

Here is my configuration:

let g:cursorword = 1
let g:cursorword_highlight = 0
let g:cursorword_delay = 50
hi CursorWord0 ctermbg=darkgrey guibg=darkgrey term=none cterm=none gui=none
hi CursorWord1 ctermbg=darkgrey guibg=darkgrey term=none cterm=none gui=none

I try to g:cursorword_delay = 10, but the flicker is still visible.

No such highlight group name: CursorWord.

When I use the latest master branch(SHA-371fdd7), moving the cursor will result in an error.
Fallback to tag: v0.8 will run normally.

What is the usage of cursorword_id1?

It causes issues that currently words are marked with hi Cursorline after I change the colorscheme with a different cursorline. I remove all the code related to cursorword_id1 and now it seems that everything works correctly.

augroup cursorword has a bug

augroup cursorword
autocmd!
autocmd VimEnter,ColorScheme * call cursorword#highlight()
autocmd VimEnter,WinEnter,BufEnter,CursorMoved,CursorMovedI * call cursorword#matchadd()
augroup END

should be

augroup cursorword
autocmd!
autocmd VimEnter,WinEnter,BufEnter,ColorScheme * call cursorword#highlight()
autocmd VimEnter,WinEnter,BufEnter,CursorMoved,CursorMovedI * call cursorword#matchadd()
augroup END

Feature request: underscore after in a few milliseconds

When cursor moves through words that occur many times there is a performance drop.

E28: No such highlight group name: CursorWord0 when vim-startify is lazy loaded by vim-plug

Hi, itchyny. I come across an odd problem when using vim-startify and vim-cursorword at the same time, which vim-startify is lazy loaded by vim-plug.

Plug 'mhinz/vim-startify', { 'on': 'Startify' }
Plug 'itchyny/vim-cursorword'

Then an annoying error occurs:

Error detected while processing function cursorword#matchadd:
line   13:
E28: No such highlight group name: CursorWord0

If vim-startify is loaded without lazy loading, all is fine.

Plug 'mhinz/vim-startify'
Plug 'itchyny/vim-cursorword'

Do you have any clue on this?

mbyte character support

Would you please add mbyte character support?

Underline all the same single character in range [\u4e00-\u9fa5] is all I need.

Thank you very much.

Words with multi-byte characters ignored

In this line there is a comparison between byte length and the number of characters. Words containing multi-byte characters are therefore ignored by cursorword.

Why is this check in place? Can't the plugin rely solely on the iskeyword setting?

Bug with latest neovim

Hi @itchyny found something wrong with neovim head version

• env : mac os 10.15.7

Problem

check this pic. the cursor in word function. but you can see it highlight the 1 with a space?

The plugin does not work without plugin manager.

Hi, recently I found this useful plugin and try to use it.
Thank you for this amazing work.

But I had a little problem.
When I installed the plugin with plugin manager, it works normally.
But when I try to install and use this plugin with my .vimrc as follows, the plugin does not work and report error.
I have already moved the "cursorword.vim" to the plugin folder manually.

source ~/.vim/plugin/cursorword.vim
let g:cursorword = 1 
let g:cursorword_highlight = 0 
let g:cursorword_delay = 0 
hi CursorWord0 ctermbg=lightgrey guibg=lightgrey term=none cterm=none gui=none
hi CursorWord1 ctermbg=lightgrey guibg=lightgrey term=none cterm=none gui=none

The error info is:

Error detected while processing CursorMoved Autocommands for "*":                                                                                    
E117: Unknown function: cursorword#cursormoved

Would you please help me out?
Thank you ;)

Error when cursor on unicode char

Cursorword does not play well with unicode chars. When I move cursor on say ē, then error happens.

Installing with Vundle is asking for Git credentials

assign a color to the underline

The undersline color changes with the color of words, i.e., if the word is colored by "green", then the underline color is "green" as well. How could I assign a color to underline persistently, like "yellow", no matter what the word color is? Thanks!

idea: only underline the word under the curser if there is more than one of it in the document

Thanks for writing this great tool, I love it! Here is an idea:

Underlining is supposed to highlight multiple occurrences of a word in the text.
If there is only one occurrence of the word under the curser, it should not underline that word.
This helps see quickly that there are no other occurrences of that word in the text.

Error detected while processing function cursorword#matchadd: No such highlight group name: CursorWord1

I recently updated my vim-cursorword and received the following error message when starting vim:

Error detected while processing function cursorword#matchadd:
line 14:
No such highlight group name: CursorWord1

I hope the error would be fixed ASAP. For now I will have to disable the plugin altogether.

機能の toggle を可能にしてほしい

便利に使わせていただいています。ただ、URL が大量に書かれたファイルにて URL の編集を行う際などハイライトされる部分がとても多い場合カーソルの動きが明らかに遅くなるため簡単にトグルができると助かります。

Unnecessary white background of cursorword appear when set cursorline

• Disable cursorline

.vimrc

" set cursorline

Result:

• Enable cursorline

.vimrc

set cursorline
highlight CursorLine cterm=none ctermfg=None
highlight Visual cterm=bold ctermbg=202 ctermfg=NONE

Result:

I don't want the white background appear. How could I to hide or make it transparent?

Can you make it highlight word under cursor not underline it ?

Coc.vim has plugin coc-highlight, and coc-highlight can highlight the current word under the cursor but it's not as fast as your plugin.

If you can, please add an option where we can specify underline or highlight the word.

vim-brightest

out of interest, you might want to see https://github.com/osyo-manga/vim-brightest as well. I'm not saying you should take yours down (since the other is in Japanese), but it could be useful to see.

Blinking On Movement

cursorword blinks when moving without changing the word.

Configuring the delay

Hey there, thanks for the plugin!

I'm wondering: can I configure the delay after which words get underlined? I have this effect where moving one character inside the word will refresh the underlining of that word, so it flashes a lot. With a longer delay/debounce, this could be a bit smoother.

Cursor word lose effect after switch to other files

My environment is Ubuntu20.04/ vim8.2.5105.

It's worked fine when start-up, but after I switch to another file by using Nerdtree or LeaderF, it has no cursorline at all! Only when I type whatever a colorscheme use command like: :colorscheme onedark, it works again...

What is the cause of that?

Improperly highlighted when used with :set colorcolumn

I've asked a question related to this Plugin here:

https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/12158/improperly-highlighted-when-used-with-cursorcolumn

I am wondering if this can be an issue of vim-cursorword

NOTE: Perhaps this is related to this w0ng/vim-hybrid#17

Priority

Use case

I'm using vim-cursorword together with inkarkat/vim-mark.
Underline of vim-cursorword takes precedence over marks placed by vim-mark.
This is inconvenient since there is no immediate visual feedback after marking a word by pressing \m. I have to move the cursor to see the marks.

• vim-cursorword has a priority of -1 (unconfigurable)
• vim-mark by default has a priority of -10 (configurable via g:mwMaxMatchPriority)
• both priorities have to be negative, otherwise, they would override hlsearch

Feature request

I would like to configure vim-cursorword match priority.

Or leave it unconfigurable, but at least make it small enough, like -100. In this case it is possible to revert to the old behavior by setting g:mwMaxMatchPriority to e.g. -200.

Or, if it is possible, make both plugins not interfere with each other. I.e. make vim-cursorword underline not to override vim-mark backgrounds.

Allow to customize highlight groups

It seems that the cursorword#highlight function overrides my attempts at customizing the CursorWord[01] highlight groups. Would it be possible to make a minor change that allows me to customize these groups?

How to fix the cursor style?
