Subject: Is there a way to hightlight region permanently?
Date: Sun, 02 Jul 2017 11:27:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87eftzrxwn.fsf@jane> (raw)

Hi all,

I'd like to have something like `highlight-regexp' and
`unhighlight-regexp', but for the current region.  I.e., something that
stays highlighted after I move point and/or mark, and whose highlighting
I can easily turn off when no longer needed.

Any hints?  Or should I just code that myself?

TIA,
