4-2. Modify the color of the selected block

In si4, global search, or jump function, or manual selection of variable names are commonly used. At this time, the color will be different. However, if the color is not set well, it will be difficult to find the content we are searching for. The following is to set the color of the selected block:

Open options–>style properties, set the color of the selected block as follows, and change it to a conspicuous color.

8. [Problem]: The highlighted shortcut key (f8) suddenly appears invalid.

Problem description: Suddenly I found that the shortcut key f8 for selecting highlighting is invalid, but you can select highlighting by right-clicking the mouse, and then select options------>key assignments to see if the original highlighted shortcut key has been changed. I found that it has not been changed, that is, it is occupied by other software! I just remembered that I installed NetEase Youdao Dictionary. The word delineation function of this software defaults to f8. . .
Problem Solved: Just change the word retrieval switch function key of NetEase Youdao Dictionary to something else;
