Highlight line in editor?

#1

Hi all, I’m working on a plugin and it does stuff (yay), my next step is to display this to the user.

Basically, I’ve been searching for a way to highlight a line in the editor, I haven’t been able to find any info on how to highlight a line in the editor (And of course, how to reset it), could someone point me in the right direction?

I do this so:

def show_viewport(region): view = sublime.active_window().active_view() vector = view.text_to_layout(region.a) view.set_viewport_position(vector) view.sel().clear() view.sel().add(sublime.Region(region.b))
The given region includes only one line.
To reset: clear the selection again.

Thanks mate, I’ll give that a shot (Not on the dev box at the moment)

I finally had a chance to try this, granted I may not be passing in the right info, but all it does (The only thing I’ve gotten to work) is where it scrolls to the position.

I should say, I’m going through and checking for errors line by line, so what I’m passing in is the current line (Which it scrolls to)

This code piece scrolls to the position

view.set_viewport_position(vector)

This one selects a line

view.sel().add(view.line(point))

Check out the API Reference for further infos:
