[Feature request] Colorize only surrounded brackets and set background and border colors

[BachiMjavanadze]

Please add the ability to colorize only those brackets that surround the mouse cursor:

Vertical lines should have only highlighted brackets.
also please add ability to colorize only background and set border color (optionally only for surrounded braces):

Could you further more describe the benefit of this feature?

[BachiMjavanadze]

you clearly highlight the context in which you work and are not distracted by other contexts, this is how my VScode is set up. I love minimalism, I don't like it when all the brackets are colored in different colors

[wmjordan]

Why do you want to emphasize the bounding braces?

Why do you want to emphasize the bounding braces?

just to focus on work context

[wmjordan]

How does the brace pair brings meaning for your "context"?

Viasfora is a good extension for it but it is not maintained anymore and has performance issues.

what you mean? it is just a personal preference, my VSCode works like that

I know even better, but hard to implement
Blockman

Before I begin to work on it, I must need to know the values and benefits, not "personal preference", which can be a false request since you can not say why it is good.

[wmjordan]

I don't like so many lines and blocks in the code editor.

Currently Codist's Super Quick Info has already an option to highlight the block when you hover your mouse on it.

It even works with expressions, not only blocks.

It works best to solve "parentheses hell".

[wmjordan]

You can also turn on the Syntax detail and Highlight syntax range options.

Hover your mouse on the Navigation Bar. The code block structure will be revealed.

However, I don't think it is very useful now, since the similar functionality is provided by Super Quick Info.

[BachiMjavanadze]

did you implement it as I ask? can't enable the feature

[wmjordan]

No, not implemented.
