Hi,

In kdevelop 1 there are already bookmarks that you can see on the left margin.

So it is possible to add backgroud coloring (and quite easy), but soon people
will want to be able to go to the colored part of the file with a keystroke
and it will become another kind of bookmark. Perhaps the right thing would be
to add a preference where the user can choose between bookmarks and even
breakpoints as icons in the left margin or as colored background.

Bye,
