Description

I had a search through the issues for this, and also did a web search for lua plugins, and couldn't find anything. Is this something you've thought about or discussed before? Would it be be possible to add support via a plugin? The basic idea of what I'd like to be able to do is to be able to step through lines in a debugger, and those lines are highlighted in micro. Also being able to set breakpoints in micro would be nice.

I'm guessing this would be hard to do and largely depends on the debugger in question, so would requires plugins, so sorry if the question is a bit naive, I'm just curious if this is a possibility and what it would require or if it is completely off the table.

Research direction
