Why another plugin?

I couldn't find the usual functionality that I used in Notepad++ or different IDEs, where double-clicking on a word immediately showed me how often it appears in the open document.

Features

Release 1.6.2

This release stabilizes occurrence matching and navigation across Source Mode, Live Preview, and Reading View. Counts now cover the complete note, Unicode word boundaries are supported, short selections are debounced, and permanent highlight/tag commands avoid protected Markdown regions.

Keyboard shortcuts are configured through Obsidian Settings → Hotkeys. Occura does not install global keyboard handlers or reserve built-in Find shortcuts.

Release 1.6.1

No new features. Some issues has been fixed.

Release 1.6.0

New features has been added:

  1. Dynamic occurrences highlighting, words classes highlighting now works in Reading View too, not only in Source or Live Preview modeimage

  2. Added navigation between occurrences with new commands and configurable hotkeys:
    • Go to next occurrence
    • Go to previous occurrenceimage

      image

  3. Added support for highlighting repeated phrases with spaces, not only single wordsimage

  4. Added a context menu action to quickly add the selected word into an existing word classimage
