Description
As can be seen in the gif in the readme, the virtual text is only visible if the cursor is inside a scope block.
Is there an option to show it no matter where the cursor is?
Current behavior:
```
A {
} --> A {
🡇
A {
}
```
Desired behavior:
```
A {
} --> A {
🡇
A {
} --> A {
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the README GIF and the current and desired examples; reproduce the behavior with the cursor inside and outside a scope block. Trace the plugin's virtual-text visibility behavior and verify the change by confirming the text remains visible at both cursor positions.
