The Always Color Text plugin gives you full control over how specific words or phrases appear across your vault by letting you assign consistent text or background colours. You can mark terms permanently from the right-click menu, command palette, or plugin settings or apply one time highlights as needed. It supports case sensitivity, partial word matching, and even blacklisting to prevent certain files or terms from being affected. The plugin also allows you to design custom colour swatches for quicker access, replace default palettes and toggle global colouring on or off from multiple entry points like the ribbon or status bar. If you want to undo everything, there is a quick reset button with confirmation to wipe your coloured words safely.
