Clipboard word group match
With this function, the current text can be compared against
all words found in the clipboard. Use it like this:
- copy some text into the clipboard,
with a maximum size of 1 MB.
- select Clip group match, or press CTRL+SHIFT+G.
- all words of the current text which are found
within the clipboard text will be shown in pale green.
all words which are not found will be shown in pale red.
- to stop this mode, select Clip group match again.
This is typically used by software developers, to check
if a constructor method initializes all fields of an object:
the constructor code is copied to clipboard, then go to
the class declaration, then activate clip group match.
But it can also be useful otherwise, e.g. to theck CSV data
exports of a spreadsheet for completeness.
Word matches are done according to the current case or
accent sensitivity settings. For example, if you need
case sensitive matching, first click on case, and then
activate clip group match.
Highlight colors can be changed in the config file like:
color group-match 00FF00
color group-miss FF0000
