I found this function in Notepad3.
I using this function for analyze log info, it's very usefully.
When I analyze log info, I can hight some TAG in difference color:
Code: Select all
111 333 555<-- selected "333" and press [Ctrl+Alt+V]
222 444 666
333 555 777
444 666 888<-- selected "888" and press [Ctrl+Alt+V]
111 777 999
222 888 000
After that it will be:

RJ TE is a very complex software, so I may be wrong, but as far as I know the answer to your question is "no": no multi-color selection highlighting. It seems to be very helpful indeed, so I think you should submit feature request.
...You may use a trick, though, and highlight up to three keywords: select 1st, use "Highlight word", select 2nd, use "Highlight selection", select 3rd, press F3 (=Find next):

Three highlighted keywords here are "border", "transition" and "color".

Highlight word/selection will use different colors if you select multiple words or phrases in the next release (v15.50).

Thanks for your trick. But I think it's not my request.
How to submit feature request?

It's not my request too. I need hightlight hole line, not word/selection only.
It's usefully for analyze log file.

To highlight whole lines you can use "Search -> Highlight -> Highlight Expressions".

It's a complex program indeed! Silver lining here is that we'll get another useful feature in the next version
Oh, and by the way, I guess there's a glitch in this function:
