Description

@aliirmak

Can you add an option for highlighting current line? It helps some of us where we are typing.

Maybe you're asking if it can be added as a preference but this is already possible by editing the theme file:

  1. Open the file lib/theme/theme.txt found in the Arduino IDE installation folder.
  2. Change the line:
editor.linehighlight=false

to:

editor.linehighlight=true
  1. Save the file.
  2. Restart the Arduino IDE if it's running.

You can also change the color of the highlight via editor.linehighlight.color

Thanks @per1234 for the super precise comment! I'm leaving the issue open to understand if the request was indeed to add a checkbox in Preferences or if writing it in some wiki page is enough.

Yes. You both are pnting to the right direction.
A checkbox under Preferences next to Line Numbering would be nice.
