I've experienced a wish for optionally setting the background color<br>
differently for different code sections (in washed out colors).<br>
When you go back to old[e] code (and perhaps even new) to try to get a<br>
grip on where a sections start and end, looking for something<br>
particular, background colors could make it easier/faster to limit the<br>
search, areawise.<br>
The coloring could exist in the mini-map or in the code itself, the<br>
main idea however, is that I can set it myself. It would be sufficient<br>
having two available colors resulting in a sort of pajamas effect.<br>
<br>
Another way would be to mark these areas with some Kate specific<br>
symbol and choosing "View ..." to make it appear. Or perhaps not.<br>
<br>
Like:<br>
Begin: how to catch fish [in light blue]<br>
...400 lines of code..<br>
End how to catch<br>
<br>
Begin: how to fillet fish [in light red] or [standard background]<br>
...500 lines of code...<br>
END: how to fillet<br>
<br>
I'm just throwing the idea up in the air. Do what you like with it.<br>
Have a nice day!<br>
