[Easy] Invert Color for Cursor + Selection.

[islogged]

Because the Cursor is also as a Selection.
Example: If u copy the current file on the Cursor is act as a selected file.

It can be logical to add the possibility that the Cursor obtain the same style as the Selection for who want (as me) to keep this coherence.

I think this suggestions is not a Code big work ...
Thanks for add.

But how will you distinguish selected but not focused and focused but not selected file?

I guess the idea would be to always display the file under the cursor as selected if no other file is selected.

I understand the idea but I see the problem that it causes.

[x] Inverted color for both

Code: Select all

marked | selected| backgroundcolor
   0       |       0       | white
   1       |       0       | gray
   0       |       1       | green
   1       |       1       | ????? 

Only 3 colors for 4 states!?!

Where exactly do you see the problem in my approach?

Lefteous,
If selected and focused files will look the same, it won't be possible to distinguish them, so e.g. it won't be obvious which file will be copied if you have one selected and one focused.

I didn't suggested to do this. All I suggested is to display the focused file as selected when no other file is selected. No changes to the color options. This would completely solve the described problem.

I can't say though that it would be usable. It could be very strange to use selections as described after all these years. It would also include automatic removal of a selection. Maybe we could try it as an option.

Yah, for what we need to use the Cursor Font color option for this ...
But the true problem is that's function seem already "bugged" because when we change the "Cursor Font" color it change the "Mark Font" color and not the "Cursor Font" color ...

And that's not the initial deal ! => http://imgur.com/Kq3Pdib.jpg

Green on Grey

is that's function seem already "bugged"

Yes there seems to be a bug that the cursor font color is only used with inverted Cursor but can also be changed if inverted Mark is active.

Green on Grey

background on background?

BTW:

Only true if no other item is marked/selected.

Ok, then i will try to make a Bug Report in coming days !

Cursor Color Font on Background Color.

Hope nobody selects the gray Cursor color font together with a gray Mark color

Yeah, or also a green Font Color with a green Background

I thought that you've only clarified original suggestion. Anyway, there may be ambiguous situations:
1. I have focused file. Then I select another file and copy to target panel. 1 file will be copied.
2. I have selected file. Then I select another file and copy to target panel. 2 files will be copied.
Both look similarly at start but lead to different results.
