Re: [Cgdb-devel] Patch: focus style.

[Mike M. <mi...@su...>]

Hi Gilboa,

Thanks for submitting the patch.  Although our syntax highlighting
documentation is probably not perfect, there is in fact a way to
accomplish this without a patch:

  :hi SelectedLineNr cterm=reverse

You could also, for example, make the selected line number red:

  :hi SelectedLineNr ctermfg=red

I'm glad you & your coworkers are getting some use out of CGDB. :)

Mike
