How to make sublime text editor highlight left bar area on active code block

2

Sometimes I feal lost while coding on sublime text editor as it doesn't highlight the left bar as others ides/text editors do what I am talking about is the light violet color on line numbers as in eclipse.

eclipse

But in Sublime text Editor its simply an small dash beneath curly braces.

Is there any way I can get this in sublime text editor ?

I think you can place it into your user preferences settings file -

To highlight the entire line (not exactly what you want, but available):

"highlight_line": true

You can change the color of the highlight with hex values

<key>lineHighlight</key>
<string>hexcolor</string>

it made no difference. – user3452098 – 2014-11-02T13:28:08.720

@user3452098 it works in sublime text 2, it should work in 3. I think it only works if you don't have anything selected (or highlighted) in the line. Try it with another theme maybe? – Raystafarian – 2014-11-02T13:39:56.753

I have added it in end of user preference like { "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Dawn.tmTheme", "font_size": 10, "ignored_packages": [ "jQuery" ], "update_check": false, "highlight_line": true } am I correct ? – user3452098 – 2014-11-02T14:05:44.033

its a good preference, but not sufficient for what OP asking. – Merlin – 2019-09-18T04:38:06.233
