Hi everyone,
In regard to the following [[Geany-Users] mail list's email](https://www.mail-archive.com/users@lists.geany.org/msg03026.html), I think it might be useful for Geany to have an option to highlight the folding region where the caret is in. Something similar to the following image:
The image seems to be from Geany (might be a version from 2011, I will check). The previous image can be found [in the following website](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/765/?page=0), where the author requested the same option to be added to Scintilla (which is weird, since I think Geany uses Scintilla editing library already). He added the patch and it was added to Scintilla under the option:
`SCI_MARKERENABLEHIGHLIGHT: Enable/disable highlight for current folding block (smallest one that contains the caret)`
Is it possible to invoke this command by some way in Geany's configuration files?
The example images are likely photoshopped to illustrate it. If somebody made a pull request which added the option to the preferences perhaps in `Editor->Features` below the checkbox enabling folding it probably would be accepted.
Hi Lex,
Oh, that makes sense then! Maybe this is what the example meant with "visual rendering".
Okay, I will check Geany's hacking guide and see if this feature is straightforward to implement (since there is an option for it already in Scintilla) and hopefully me or somebody else can add it.
Thanks again,
