control them with these commands:
@table @kbd
-@item C-x w h @var{regexp} @key{RET} @var{face} @key{RET}
+@item M-s h r @var{regexp} @key{RET} @var{face} @key{RET}
+@itemx C-x w h @var{regexp} @key{RET} @var{face} @key{RET}
+@kindex M-s h r
@kindex C-x w h
@findex highlight-regexp
Highlight text that matches @var{regexp} using face @var{face}
(@code{highlight-regexp}). The highlighting will remain as long as
the buffer is loaded. For example, to highlight all occurrences of
the word ``whim'' using the default face (a yellow background)
-@kbd{C-x w h whim @key{RET} @key{RET}}. Any face can be used for
+@kbd{M-s h r whim @key{RET} @key{RET}}. Any face can be used for
highlighting, Hi Lock provides several of its own and these are
pre-loaded into a list of default values. While being prompted
for a face use @kbd{M-n} and @kbd{M-p} to cycle through them.
You can use this command multiple times, specifying various regular
expressions to highlight in different ways.
-@item C-x w r @var{regexp} @key{RET}
+@item M-s h u @var{regexp} @key{RET}
+@itemx C-x w r @var{regexp} @key{RET}
+@kindex M-s h u
@kindex C-x w r
@findex unhighlight-regexp
Unhighlight @var{regexp} (@code{unhighlight-regexp}).
If you invoke this from the menu, you select the expression to
unhighlight from a list. If you invoke this from the keyboard, you
use the minibuffer. It will show the most recently added regular
-expression; use @kbd{M-p} to show the next older expression and
-@kbd{M-n} to select the next newer expression. (You can also type the
+expression; use @kbd{M-n} to show the next older expression and
+@kbd{M-p} to select the next newer expression. (You can also type the
expression by hand, with completion.) When the expression you want to
unhighlight appears in the minibuffer, press @kbd{@key{RET}} to exit
the minibuffer and unhighlight it.
-@item C-x w l @var{regexp} @key{RET} @var{face} @key{RET}
+@item M-s h l @var{regexp} @key{RET} @var{face} @key{RET}
+@itemx C-x w l @var{regexp} @key{RET} @var{face} @key{RET}
+@kindex M-s h l
@kindex C-x w l
@findex highlight-lines-matching-regexp
@cindex lines, highlighting
Highlight entire lines containing a match for @var{regexp}, using face
@var{face} (@code{highlight-lines-matching-regexp}).
-@item C-x w b
+@item M-s h p @var{phrase} @key{RET} @var{face} @key{RET}
+@itemx C-x w p @var{phrase} @key{RET} @var{face} @key{RET}
+@kindex M-s h p
+@kindex C-x w p
+@findex highlight-phrase
+@cindex phrase, highlighting
+@cindex highlighting phrase
+Highlight matches of @var{phrase}, using face @var{face}
+(@code{highlight-phrase}). @var{phrase} can be any regexp,
+but spaces will be replaced by matches to whitespace and
+initial lower-case letters will become case insensitive.
+
+@item M-s h .
+@itemx C-x w .
+@kindex M-s h .
+@kindex C-x w .
+@findex highlight-symbol-at-point
+@cindex symbol, highlighting
+@cindex highlighting symbol at point
+Highlight the symbol found near point without prompting, using the next
+available face automatically (@code{highlight-symbol-at-point}).
+
+@item M-s h w
+@itemx C-x w b
+@kindex M-s h w
@kindex C-x w b
@findex hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns
Insert all the current highlighting regexp/face pairs into the buffer
invoke @kbd{M-x hi-lock-find-patterns}, or if you visit the file while
Hi Lock mode is enabled (since that runs @code{hi-lock-find-patterns}).
-@item C-x w i
+@item M-s h f
+@itemx C-x w i
+@kindex M-s h f
@kindex C-x w i
@findex hi-lock-find-patterns
Extract regexp/face pairs from comments in the current buffer
entries displayed by `Info-index-next', `Info-virtual-index' and
`info-apropos'.
+** Hi-Lock
+
+*** New option `hi-lock-auto-select-face'. When non-nil, hi-lock commands
+will cycle through faces in `hi-lock-face-defaults' without prompting.
+
++++
+*** New global command `M-s h .' (`highlight-symbol-at-point')
+highlights the symbol found near point without prompting,
+using the next face automatically.
+
** Search and Replace
+*** New global command `M-s .' (`isearch-forward-symbol-at-point')
+starts a symbol (identifier) incremental search forward with the
+symbol found near point added to the search string initially.
+
*** `C-x 8 RET' in Isearch mode reads a character by its Unicode name
and adds it to the search string.
