Description
I'm not sure if this is out of scope for the plugin, but when the code scope the cursor is inside is fully invisible in the window, I'd like it to be highlighted.

Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Begin by locating the code that renders the current context and determine how the cursor's enclosing parentheses or brackets could be identified when their scope is outside the visible window. Done means the enclosing scope is visibly highlighted without disrupting existing context behavior.
