Wanted: line highlighter

(1/2) > >>

rjbull:
I have to use Web apps that present results in a table, which tends to be eye-boggling if you have to read across to match opposite ends of the line without accidentally slipping onto the next line.  I'm looking for something that highlights a line on screen in the same sort of way that lots of text editors do, highlighting the line the cursor is on, as per the image.    I could start looking at on-screen rulers, but please, does anyone know of a program more like what I'm looking for?

This is a bit like line highlighters from the days of DOS mono LCD laptops  ;)

Thanks...

Vu-Bar maybe? Not a text highlighter but if skipping lines is the problem then this might be the solution. If not, google for "assistive technology / reading disability / one line text highlighter".

Nice one, I can use that!  Thanks.

Yes, that looks good  :)  I see he also has a version that can be flipped between horizontal and vertical, for spreadsheets.  His links page has a link to Donation Coder - so he must be good   8)

Thanks!  :)
