# TMX Editor - Word-Level Highlighting Implementation Complete ✓

## Summary

The TMX Editor now implements **precise word-level highlighting** for search terms, replacing the previous row-level highlighting approach.

## What You Asked For

> "You did that same thing again where the whole segment is highlighted yellow if I search for one word: 'surface' e.g. I want only that word highlighted yellow throughout the search results"

## What Was Implemented

✅ **Changed from Treeview to Text widget** - Enables character-level precision  
✅ **Word-level highlighting** - Only search terms highlighted, not entire rows  
✅ **Case-insensitive matching** - Finds all variations of search term  
✅ **Multiple occurrences** - All instances in a segment are highlighted  
✅ **Yellow highlighting** - `#ffff00` background matching concordance search  

## Technical Changes

### Before
- Widget: `ttk.Treeview` (table/grid widget)
- Limitation: Can only apply tags to entire rows
- Result: Searching "surface" highlighted the entire row yellow

### After
- Widget: `tk.Text` (text editor widget)
- Capability: Character-level tag precision
- Result: Searching "surface" highlights only that word in yellow

## Code Changes

### Main Method: `_insert_with_highlight()`
```python
def _insert_with_highlight(self, text, search_term, width, row_tag):
    """Insert text with highlighted search terms"""
    if search_term and search_term.strip():
        search_lower = search_term.lower()
        text_lower = display_text.lower()
        
        last_pos = 0
        while True:
            pos = text_lower.find(search_lower, last_pos)
            if pos == -1:
                # Insert remaining text
                self.results_text.insert('end', display_text[last_pos:], row_tag)
                break
            
            # Insert text before match
            if pos > last_pos:
                self.results_text.insert('end', display_text[last_pos:pos], row_tag)
            
            # Insert highlighted match (ONLY the search term)
            match_end = pos + len(search_lower)
            self.results_text.insert('end', display_text[pos:match_end], ('highlight', row_tag))
            
            last_pos = match_end
```

### Display Format
```python
# Create Text widget instead of Treeview
self.results_text = tk.Text(grid_container, wrap='none',
                            font=('Consolas', 9),
                            cursor='arrow',
                            state='disabled',
                            bg='white')

# Configure highlighting tag
self.results_text.tag_configure('highlight', background='#ffff00', foreground='#000000')
```

## Files Modified

1. **modules/tmx_editor.py** (~1,260 lines)
   - Changed `create_grid_editor()` from Treeview to Text widget
   - Rewrote `refresh_current_page()` for text-based display
   - Added `_insert_with_highlight()` for word-level highlighting
   - Added `on_text_double_click()` for editing via Text widget

2. **CHANGELOG.md**
   - Updated v3.7.5 section to specify "word-level" highlighting

3. **modules/TMX_EDITOR_README.md**
   - Updated features list to mention word-level highlighting

## Files Created

1. **docs/TMX_EDITOR_WORD_HIGHLIGHTING.md** - Detailed technical documentation
2. **docs/TMX_WORD_HIGHLIGHTING_SUMMARY.md** - User-friendly summary

## Visual Example

### Searching for "surface"

**Before (Row Highlighting)**:
```
1   The surface is smooth                  Het oppervlak is glad
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    (entire row highlighted yellow - hard to read)
```

**After (Word Highlighting)**:
```
1   The surface is smooth                  Het oppervlak is glad
        ^^^^^^^
    (only "surface" highlighted yellow - precise and readable)
```

## User Experience Improvements

1. **Precision**: Instantly spot the search term
2. **Readability**: Surrounding text remains clear
3. **Professional**: Industry-standard highlighting
4. **Consistency**: Matches concordance search behavior
5. **Performance**: Text widget is efficient
