Is there a way to have the editor draw a focus rect on the current
line ?
lazarus / 9-Editor

Hello,

I definitely have a tendency of losing track of the cursor location in
Lazarus/Synedit.

In the other editor I use, the editor draws a thin rectangle around
the line where the caret is (see attachment) and I was wondering if
there is some option in the Lazarus editor to do the same.

Thanks.

yes, see "tools\options","editor\Display\Colors->current line
highlight", see the purple underlines in the attached image below.

Thank you Taazz.  That is great.  You made my day!  No more losing
track of the cursor.

yes the synedit author/maintainer has done an excellent job over the
years

I completely agree.  That is a very nice component.  Thank you again
