Description
Problem Description
When using the TUI, it is not always easy to see at a glance where I am in the flow list, especially if I am visually focusing on some of the columns towards the right of the pane (content type, size, etc).
Proposal
The background of currently selected flow/line should be a slightly different color to the rest. Something similar to the cursorline feature in most text editors. Maybe the color could be configurable.
Alternatives
I have not considered alternatives, as this seems like the natural solution.
Additional context
None.

Research direction
Start by locating the TUI flow-list entry point and the code that renders the currently selected flow. Check how row colors or selection styling are handled elsewhere before deciding whether configuration is already supported. Done means the selected flow is visibly distinct from other rows, including when viewing columns on the right.
