Description

Is your feature request related to a usage problem(not a bug?) In YT when u go to the comment section and click on the comment time stamp (timestamp is next to the username in FreeTube) for example 1 Day ago then the comment gets highlighted and get pinned to the top of the comment section even when u close the vid and come back later to rewatch. This would be handy because if u want to rewatch the video the valuable information is still pinned at the top.

Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented Click on the timestamp to highlight and dehighlight a comment. Highlighted comments have priority over pinned ones by the channel owner.

Describe alternatives you've considered None.

Examine the comment component in the FreeTube repository (likely src/renderer/components/comments/). Implement a click handler on the timestamp that toggles a 'highlighted' class. Store highlighted comment IDs in a reactive array and persist using localStorage. Update tests accordingly.
