I thought that currently when the cursor is over a character, the matching character has a colored background. I was suggesting that instead the foreground should be colored. Since usually the cursor has a colored backgorund, you would know which one is the cursor. The character under the cursor would be colored with the same foreground color as its matching character, so you can tell that they are matching. The cursor has a colored background in all terminal emulators (and terminals) that I have seen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
