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