Description

I like to turn off the 'hlsearch' option, but I do need to highlight some strings to help me track variables

Different from syntax highlighting, this will make the highlighted part stand out more:

pic-selected-241011-1316-43

I am using this plugin: https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-mark
It works great, but it does not provide an operator, and I don’t like the default commands and keys, using vimscript makes it difficult to customize

Another plugin is https://github.com/pocco81/high-str.nvim
But it also does not provide an operator, and not using highlight groups is also a disadvantage

Are you interested in implementing this feature?

Research direction

Start by reviewing CONTRIBUTING.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, then compare the requested behavior with the linked vim-mark and high-str.nvim plugins. The work would be complete when a new module supports manually highlighting several words with customizable commands or keys, an operator, and highlight groups.
