    https://github.com/azabiong/vim-highlighter - highlight occurrences of words, can select multiple different words at same time. Independent from lsp word highlight, or search highlight - so these highlights wont interfere with vim-highlihger . Makes it easy to spot all places where some function or variable was used. One click to un-highlight all, or specyfic word. And it takes just hotkeys: - f + Enter - add cursor word occurrences highlight

    If you just need to highlight a word under cursor with some color, then try https://github.com/azabiong/vim-highlighter. I often need to match identifiers in code that I browse to quickly identify what is used where. It's a very helpful plugin for this use case.
