How to change the highlight color for indent line of the current context ?

[adamency]

I can't find the relevant information on this in the doc as all mentions of the word "context" have been removed since v3 as I can see in the commit history, and all the issues mentioning the current context are from before v3 and thus use the word "context". Consequently, I didn't manage to find the replacement for settings about the current context. Can you point me to the correct setting for this ?

PS: Basically I would like to have the same pink color you have in your screenshots for the current context but configuring with the suggested configuration from the readme gets me a grey indent line, which IIUC is a color from my colorscheme (seems to be the comment highlight), but I would like to override it for the indent line of the current context.

This is not yet in the main code, but it is being worked on in #743. When that pull request is committed, you will be able to find docs about it by searching the docs for current_indent instead of context.

I have been using it for more than a week now with the changes I suggested there, and I haven't had any problems. If you want to test it out, you could use the current_indent code too by using the current-indent branch (and possibly make the suggested changes if you run into any of the edge cases in the current code).

Also there is already an issue about this: #649

@Danielkonge Thanks a lot for your detailed answer. I had already found both that open PR and your issue.

However, that's not what I'm talking about nor what I was looking for. In the meantime I have found the solution to my issue. What I wanted is actually already (or rather still) available but the config key name is not very explicit...

Here is the code I had to add:

-- in HIGHLIGHT_SETUP hook
  vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'CurrentScope', { fg = "#fc5ef3" })
-- in setup{}
  scope = { highlight = 'CurrentScope' },

I then can have the current context/scope highlighted differently from the default highlights per indentation levels:

Ah, I guess I was confused by you saying context and your cursor position in the picture, since multiple people have asked similar questions with current_indent in mind.
