User reviews

Exactly what I needed to find predefined list of words and highlight them. Although, I need more than what it currently offers: -It cannot highlight a specific sentence; only words -There's like 4-5 colors; if you specify 10 words then different words will be highlighted with the same color

Incredible little tool. Has helped me so much. Bravo Alexius! My only request would be for a keyboard shortcut to enabled / disable :)

This is pretty great! Is it possible to add a hotkey like ctrl+f ?
