Description
Increasing Access
As you can see in the images above when braces are highlighted you cannot visually tell if the cursor is on the at position 1, 2, 3,or 4. ie myFunction1(2i3)4
By improving this we let people quickly visually determine the exact position of there cursor so they know where they are typing at all times.
Feature enhancement details
Some ideas how to improve this would be to use a highlight color instead of a border box.
Another possibility is to add the feature of cursor style so that we can select the block or underscore courser.
