Xcode should change the background color of lines containing `#pragma mark -`

Xcode should change the background color of lines containing `#pragma mark -`


  • Subject: Xcode should change the background color of lines containing `#pragma mark -`

I use `#pragma mark -` a lot, and I just realized that I'd appreciate if
its effects were reflected in the source editor, not just the jump list.
So I filed <rdar://problem/16114269> and attached a couple screenshots
of what I'd like to see. I'm throwing this out here for anyone who might
be interested in filing a duplicate. :)

Screenshots are at <http://imgur.com/a/zNY4C>.

Summary:
Xcode interprets `#pragma mark -` to mean "put a separator line above
the next symbol in the jump list."

That's really useful. But since I spend a lot of time looking at source
files, rather than in the jump bar, it would be even more useful to
adorn the _source editor_ with some sort of separator above or around a
`#pragma mark -`.

The first idea that comes to mind is to change the background color of a
line that begins with `#pragma mark -`. That's what a lot of other
editors do. But if that's too annoying, perhaps a dotted line above the
line containing the `#pragma`?

I've attached mockups of how this might look.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a `#pragma mark -` line to a C source file.

Expected Results:
Line is adorned to somehow set it off from the rest of the file.

Actual Results:
Line is unadorned.

Version:
5.0.2 (5A3005)
