Hi Pedro and all,

I am really sorry but I lost my bandwith, I am starting a new job tomorow
leaving little room for investigation etc.

Regarding the point line, used to be inverse video on monochrome, i thought
it was kind of bizare with highlighted text because we don't have a uniform
background color (before patch) then an attempt was made to have a uniform
background color but then it monopolized one color that can't be used with
foreground. The underline suffer the same problem as the inverse video, I.e
its color change as we highlight text. That's why the little demo only
underlined the front part of the line, that could be be reverse video too
but just the whitespace on the front of the line are by definition
monochrome. I reckon my demo is bugged as you noticed, when disabling
syntax highlight then my underline goes all the way through the point line.

May be an idea could be set the whole point line with un-highlited,
monochrome, then with the new range thing use reverse or underline for the
sub part only

My little underline on leading whitespace was just a way to find the >
quicker as I got long win on 4k display with 100++ Line so spotting the
point line quickly is a plus.

I'll try my best to review try a monochrome highlight to see the visual
aspect

Anyway keep going the TUI it is real good.
