Impulsive HighlightingImpulsive Highlighting is a term for clicking repeatedly on text on a computer while reading it and consequently highlighting it. http://www.karanmisra.com/2005/02/winter-rain.htm The word "highlighting" is synonymous with "selecting" in modern-day computer terminology. Practical Uses Revealing Text Impulsive Highlighting may reveal content that was formatted in the same color as the background color and which wasn't visible otherwise. It is also a convenient method for personal website authors to leave apparently invisible comments, while also leaving an easy way for those comments to be discovered. Bookmarking Impulsive Highlighting can be used for marking the point in a long article where one stopped reading, and conveniently resume reading from the same point without creating any long-term bookmarks. This is assuming that the window containing the article (a web browser or word processing software window) was not closed or changed. See Bookmark While highlighting text in a document or on a web page, it is possible to scroll up or down the page by moving the mouse up or down without letting go of the highlighted text (keeping the left mouse-button pressed). While this feature of GUI operating systems it was originally intended as a means of selecting or highlighting text by scrolling, it can also be used for scrolling by selecting or highlighting.
