Thanks

Official WordHighlight plugin seems to do the similar job, but I couldn't get it work on mine, neither ST2 nor ST3, so I read its code and make this plugin, so you might also wanna check WordHighlight, and the idea of persistent highlight came from HighlightWords, even some bit of code from his project, thanks Sean Liang. Actually all what I've done is combining 2 plugins together in my preferable way.

I also wrote a blog for this, but it's in Chinese, check it out if you are interested~:)
