---@brief --- --- Nvim includes a function for highlighting a selection on yank. --- --- To enable it, add the following to your `init.vim`: --- --- ```vim --- au TextYankPost * silent! lua vim.highlight.on_yank() --- ``` --- --- You can customize the highlight group and the duration of the highlight via: --- --- ```vim --- au TextYankPost * silent! lua vim.highlight.on_yank {higroup="IncSearch", timeout=150} --- ``` --- --- If you want to exclude visual selections from highlighting on yank, use: --- --- ```vim --- au TextYankPost * silent! lua vim.highlight.on_yank {on_visual=false} --- ``` --- local api = vim.api local M = {} --- Table with default priorities used for highlighting: --- - `syntax`: `50`, used for standard syntax highlighting --- - `treesitter`: `100`, used for treesitter-based highlighting --- - `semantic_tokens`: `125`, used for LSP semantic token highlighting --- - `diagnostics`: `150`, used for code analysis such as diagnostics --- - `user`: `200`, used for user-triggered highlights such as LSP document --- symbols or `on_yank` autocommands M.priorities = { syntax = 50, treesitter = 100, semantic_tokens = 125, diagnostics = 150, user = 200, } --- @class vim.highlight.range.Opts --- @inlinedoc --- --- Type of range.
