Subject: bug#14427: 24.3.50; Highlight symbol at point
Date: Tue, 21 May 2013 01:54:34 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ppwlb6tx.fsf@mail.jurta.org> (raw)
This feature request mostly doesn't depend on the outcome of bug#14405.
I don't know why Jambunathan didn't propose this feature earlier, but it
logically follows from his other improvements in hi-lock.el, i.e. the
feature that doesn't ask for a face and automatically uses the next face
from the list of available faces suggests also a command that doesn't ask
for a symbol and automatically uses the symbol at point:
