CGDB currently doesn't do this. Both Mike and I are hesitant to add more
functionality to CGDB at the moment because the original data structures
chosen make it very difficult to modify the program.
However, your change seems like it could be rather simplistic and it
will be a long time before I can spare the time necessary to do major
surgery on CGDB. What did you have in mind as far as highlighting? Would
you like the line to reverse all the colors? Do you have an example?
Thanks,
