## Additional highlighted characters

These characters are highlighted by default:  

- **U+2026** Horizontal ellipsis

- **U+2018** Left single quotation mark

- **U+2019** Right single quotation mark

- **U+201c** Left double quotation mark

- **U+2013** En dash

- **U+2014** Em dash

- **U+00a0** Non-breaking space

- **U+3000** Ideographic spaces

## Key bindings

`Ctrl+Alt+Shift+h` : Toggle highlighting on/off.

## Menu commands

You can toggle highlighting in the `View` menu.

The setting is per view, and not saved to disk. This can be changed in the settings, see below.

## Configuration

You can override the default settings by creating a file in `Packages/User/highlighter.sublime-settings`:

Check the default highlighter.sublime-settings file for available settings.

### Syntax ignore

You can add a list of syntaxes to ignore with the following setting:

```javascript

{

  "highlighter_syntax_ignore": ["Python", "PHP"]

}

```

### Save toggled state

To persist the toggled state to disk, set the following to true:

```javascript

{

  "highlighter_save_settings_on_change": true

}

```

### Custom regex

You can customise the regex to highlight:

**highlighter_regex**      <- Matching characters highlighted with fill and outline  

**highlighter_regex_cool** <- Matching characters highlighted with stippled underline  

```javascript

{

  "highlighter_regex": "(\t+ +(?![*]))|( +\t+)|([\t ]+$)",

  "highlighter_regex_cool": "[\u2026\u2018\u2019\u201c\u201d\u2013\u2014\u00a0]"

}

```
