Sometimes I type
echo hello <set-mark-command>world<quote-region>
(the default bindings are <C-Space> and <M-"> respectively). This patch will cause the wordworld
to be highlighted whilst its being typed.Should an inactive region be highlighted differently from an active one? Some widgets behave differently on active and inactive regions, e.g., pasting will delete the region only the region is active. There are more differences, particularly in vi mode (grep Src/Zle/ for if/switch statements on the C variable
region_active
)./cc @m0vie - this is in the same general area as #256 and #257
