[feature request] highlight indent for current context

[luissolanodev]

I don't know how viable this would be, but If possible it could be handy:

The idea is to have the same functionality as in indent-blankline plugin for highlighting the current context:

this is done with treesitter of course, and it's far from perfect even when having various nodes specified in the config file (check the docs for this).

So I don't know how that could relate to this plugin but as I said, it could be a handy feature in my opinion. I think VSCode does exactly this:

(this isn't me using VSCode)

Sorry maybe I didn't explain well. I am refering to the fact that the indent marker changes its color whenever you open a folder or a file so it can be more noticeable.

ah sorry i misunderstood. Not sure how complicated that would be, but i don't plan on implementing that myself. Indent markers, when displayed, always show indentation of opened directory. The feature you describe is more of a per node highlighting of the indent markers and i guess this would be quite complicated to implement in the current state of the plugin.

This is a nice Quality Of Life improvement.
