Description

Category: Creative & Writing Tools

The Occura Plugin brings a familiar, time-saving feature from IDEs and Notepad++ directly into Obsidian: instant word highlighting. With a simple double-click, this plugin highlights all occurrences of a word within an open document, helping you quickly scan for repeated terms or phrases. Users can customize the highlight color to fit their theme, set up hotkeys for toggling the feature on and off, and even display the count of occurrences in the status bar for a quick overview. This plugin is perfect for writers and coders alike who need a quick way to track keyword use without breaking their flow.

    This plugin has been such a help with my French. I love how it color-codes the everyday normal words differently from all those filler/parasite words makes it so much easier to spot'em. Could y’all please add a way to add words straight to different categories right from my notebook? Like, just highlight the word and right-click:boom,pick a category instead of always having to go digging through the settings every single time. Thank y’all so much, and I really hope you’ll consider adding this. Pretty please?

    It's similar to what I often use in Sublime Text: highlight the word and see it everywhere in the text. Very helpful sometimes. Thanks for the plugin!
