We could make it so that the breakpoint/disabled breakpoint highlighting is used for the line number and the current line highlighting for the rest of the line. > I misunderstood the problem that you are having.

No, the line numbers are displayed; my problem was simply that I find it difficult to visually match indented text all the way on the right side of the screen with the line number on the left side. Just knowing the current line number isn't much use, so I need a leader to see which line is selected. That's why I want to change the background color for the entire current line. > Would it be useful for CGDB to highlight lines with breakpoints by > highlighting the entire line red or yellow (based on breakpoint > enabled or disabled) instead of just the line number? Yes, that's another possibility. Let's say the breakpoints are highlighted by changing the foreground color, and the current line by changing the background, they could combine when coinciding. > Would it be useful for CGDB to highlight the current line the user is > browsing by highlighting the entire line instead of just the line > number? Yes, that's what my patch makes it do. :-) -- Haakon |
