- I cannot highlight the Spanish word for angel that is "ángel". - Cannot highlight something that begins or ends with symbol. - A little difficult to establish the colors for the added lists. I need to export the list, change colors in the *.txt document manually and then import the list. - I don't how to add words directly in the extension window or how to move-up or move-down a word from the lists. - Excellent extension!!!

Love the extension! Just wish there was a setting to automatically organize the tabs alphabetically it'd make it so much easier to add words on the go. When I try to move them around on my own by dragging them up on down, the tabs keep going to their original place eventually.
