Highlight Row

VSCode extension: Right-click on a row -> highlight/unhighlight row permanently

Features

• [x] Via right-click — no Ctrl+Shift+P, just a right-click
• [x] Multiple cursors — supports Alt + click to highlight several rows at once
• [x] Permanent — highlight doesn't disappear when moving the cursor
• [x] Customizable color — any color of your choice (HEX, RGBA, CSS)
• [x] Works with any files — .mb, .txt, .js, .py, logs, configs and others

Quick Start

1. Install the VS Code extension
2. Open any file
3. Right-click on the row you want to highlight
4. Select Highlight row (the row will be highlighted in blue by default)
5. To remove the highlight — right-click again → Unhighlight row

Multiple Cursors

1. Hold Alt+Left Click, Ctrl+Shift+L (Windows/Linux) or Option (Mac)
2. Click on several rows where you want to place cursors
3. Right-click → "Highlight row" — all rows with cursors will be highlighted simultaneously

How it works

The extension binds the highlight to the row number, not to the content. This means:

• The highlight remains on the same row number when inserting/deleting rows ABOVE
• If you press Enter at the end of a highlighted row — the highlight stays on the original row (with the text)
• If you delete a row with a highlight — the highlight disappears
• Highlights are stored in VS Code's memory within the current session (highlights are NOT saved after completely closing VS Code)

This approach is simple and predictable, without any magical shifts.
