⚙︎ Options

sep

• Default: ['', '']

Passing a string allows you to specify the Prefix and Suffix of the highlighted word at once. It can also set them up by passing a list of length 2.

fixationPoint

• Default: 1
• Range: [1, 5]

Controls how much of each word is bold. The levels work as follows:

• Level 1: Bolds larger chunks of words, best for quick reading
• Level 2: Balanced bolding, good for most text
• Level 3: Medium-sized bold sections
• Level 4: Smaller bold sections
• Level 5: Minimal bolding, best for careful reading

extraContrast

• Default: false

If this option is true, the later half of text will be set to thin for extra contrast.

currentLineOnly

• Default: false

If this option is true, the decorations will be applied only to the current cursor line.

debounceDelay

• Default: 150
• Range: [0, 1000]

Delay in milliseconds before updating the text decorations after changes. Do not change this value unless you know what you are doing.
