Show line highlighting always

[oezgueremir]

Show line highligting even if editor window does not have the focus.

This is a quickfix. I can build a version with extended menu switching support for highlighting "off", "when focused" or "always", if you would prefer this solution...

I don't know if this behavior is better or not. I mean, it doesn't seem any other program doing the same...

[oezgueremir]

If you look at the highlighting as some "marked text", the changed behavior is more accurate.

For example, when you have to check a large list line by line and you have to open another window side by side to the editor, you have to mark each line by hand to see your current line. To be honest, this was the primary reason for my change request...

But it's non standard behavior as far as I can tell. I haven't seen any other program doing that...

[oezgueremir]

Of course, this is your project. But with all due respect, you are talking about "standard behaviors" for an application that should replace a "standard tool" (notepad) .

Please take a look at my PR, you will clearly see, that I am using a define that is fully implemented by scintilla. I think they saw, that this feature could be useful.

Again, the "marked text" and the "marked occurrences" are still shown in the non-focused state. I just wanted to see some steadiness.

I am willing to work on the enhanced solution I mentioned in my opening post. But only if there is a chance that this will be merged.

[XhmikosR]

Again, it's non standard, i.e. no other program I'm aware of is doing that, so I don't see this being merged.

Thanks for that answer.
