Description

Describe the new feature

It would be nice if there was a subtle highlight of the current row so that it's easy to see which cells belong to the same row when looking at a table with many columns.

For example, invert the row number and bold the row borders?

Note that here there's no indication on the row cells, but I think I would like that. I could be wrong and just highlighting the row number is enough.
