Feature Request: Highlight Groups

[mrjeckel]

It's rather tedious having to go through and apply the same highlight colors to multiple entries. I realize that you could probably accomplish the same thing with a clever regex, but I think groups of phrases with a single background/foreground color would be a nice QoL improvement.

I'm not really sure how this would work. You can create highlights using scripts. I'll try to write a simple script and post it here to demonstrate what I mean. I probably won't implement this. If someone want to make a PR for it, I'd accept it though.

I realized while trying to write this that there wasn't a simple way to assign values to an array.

setarray group1 foo bar baz
counter set 1
addhighlight:
echo adding: %{group1[%c]}
if exists %group1[%c] then addtohighlightstrings string=%{group1[%c]} forecolor=#666666
else exit
counter add 1
goto addhighlight

setarray will be in the next version
