Highlighting text in IntelliJ IDEA
Answered
I would like to be able to highlight anything I am reading or looking at in IntelliJ IDEA, just for the sake of my own reading comprehension - not syntax highlighting, i.e. automatic highlighting of certain recognized patterns, but rather like what the extension Liner (https://getliner.com/home) is for web browsers.
I read that IntelliJ IDEA Community is open source, so it seems possible someone might have created some kind of extension like this.
Could anyone recommend to me a nearest workaround of any kind? Is there any plug-in that allows this? Is there another IDE that would allow it? Or, could I build it myself? How?
Thanks very much!

There are several plugins to mark/take notes on code https://plugins.jetbrains.com/search?products=androidstudio&products=clion&products=dbe&products=go&products=idea&products=idea_ce&products=idea_edu&products=mps&products=objc&products=phpstorm&products=pycharm&products=pycharm_ce&products=pycharm_edu&products=rider&products=ruby&products=webstorm&search=notes
Out of the blue, I don't remember if any of existing plugins does exactly what you're searching for. But it would be possible to create such a custom plugin.
