Highlight/color query results in code

Open nrb547 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There is no present problem, it's just a feature request. I would like to have the query results highlighted/colored in the code.

Describe the solution you'd like In more detail, consider the query

from FunctionCall call
select call

which returns a query result with all the references to function calls in the database, that you can click on and they will be shown in the source code. What I would like to see is these locations in the code colored.

Describe alternatives you've considered Either have the whole line colored or only the references.

Additional context Example:

int func()
{
    int a = 0;
    
    foo();    /* this expression or the whole line would be colored */
    a++;
    bar();   /* this expression or the whole line would be colored */
    return a;
}
