Color Coding
This feature is designed to combine current line coloring, modified line coloring, and language-specific
coloring. By default, the fundamental mode colors the current line. Languages with specific support
already defined (i.e. keywords, comments, etc.) use language-specific coloring.
If modified line coloring is active, the left edge of the window displays a different color depending on
whether the line was inserted or modified. To change the colors, use the Color Settings dialog box. For
more information see, Colors.
When current line color coding is active, language-specific color coding for the current line is not view-
able.
If you want to know what lines have been modified, bind the command color_modified_toggle to a key.
It will toggle display of modified lines in a different color on/off. You can bind the color_toggle command
to a key as well. This command toggles between current line, modified line, and language specific color-
ing individually.
