Highlight matching words in previewers

[liubog2008]

Now only the line is highlighted.

We currently dont do anything with a column in any picker. But for the future we can. So if the the picker provides a column (and maybe col_width) we could make this possible but if not i think line highlighting is enough. Shouldn't be hard to implement we just need to make sure we arn't breaking builtins that do not provide it.

telescope.nvim/lua/telescope/previewers/buffer_previewer.lua

Line 299 in 6ac5ee0

pcall(vim.api.nvim_buf_add_highlight, bufnr, ns_previewer, "TelescopePreviewLine", lnum - 1, 0, -1)

We would need to change this to something like this:

if col and col_width then
  pcall(vim.api.nvim_buf_add_highlight, bufnr, ns_previewer, "TelescopePreviewLine", lnum - 1, col - 1, col + col_width + 1)
else
  pcall(vim.api.nvim_buf_add_highlight, bufnr, ns_previewer, "TelescopePreviewLine", lnum - 1, 0, -1)
end

or similar

Any news on this? I would prefer it this way actually. Or better yet, highlight the whole line with a background color, and highlight the colums with the text color, or something like that.

By the way, I would like to know how to change the color of matching word?
