#289 LineChanged margin color

[Anonymous]

Hi,

It would be nice to have an automatic colouring of
the margin color for changed lines, like in the
VisualStudio.2005 IDE (see attached image).

The color-marker is shown as a small rectangular
coloring of part of the margin to indicate that the
lines have been edited by the user.

regards,
bjarke

Its a nice feature but I don't know how to make it work
sensibly when undoing and redoing with good time and space
performance. There are bugs in the Visual Studio
implementation that lead to me not trusting it.

Perhaps undo/redo is not that important. I'd prefer to be
able to see the markers even when I undo stuff. Just to
indicate that I tried to change something in that area at
some point.

One nice feature could be to allow changes of the color of
all existing markers after my tool issued a
compile/validate command. "Validated" lines with changes
are now green, new changes appear as yellow again.
