Cursor in inactive panel

Post by *Sugit »

When changing panels, its a pain that I loose where the cursor is in the inactive panel.
I use cursor=green since 1995.
I would love it if inactive panel cursor = gray.

TWinKey can indicate file in the inactive panel by: 1) color; 2) mark style; 3) filling.
The latest version is here

I hope everybody knows it already. TWinKey has visual setting rather than textual that is much better. Moreover, gradient filling is not available in TC

It looks like default suggested value for dashes/dots (InactiveFocus=$2000000) is not compatible with dark mode if gray color is used as a background 2 for it. My color settings:

Code: Select all

[ColorsDark]
InverseCursor=0
ThemedCursor=1
InverseSelection=0
BackColor=-1
BackColor2=131586
ForeColor=-1
MarkColor=-1
CursorColor=-1
CursorText=-1

[Colors]
InverseCursor=0
InverseSelection=1
BackColor=-1
ForeColor=-1
MarkColor=-1
CursorColor=-1
CursorText=-1
BackColor2=15461355
ThemedCursor=1
If Cursor is on a black cell, it is completely invisible.

Also currently there is an issue with inactive cursor if TC window is not active: InactiveFocus setting then is used for both panels.
I suggest to introduce additional parameter like BackgroundActiveFocus to set a separate file cursor for active panel of not active TC window.

It's probably using standard selection cursor colors, which is black.
