Ale: Feature request: Use highlighting to indicate errors

Created on 24 Nov 2016 · 3Comments · Source: dense-analysis/ale

I'm not sure if this is even possible, but if it is: It would be very convenient if we could get some sort of syntax highlighting of errors/warnings instead of/in addition to the signs. I prefer to not have signs, but I would like some visual cue of the error, e.g. underline or coloring.

I reckon it is! In the meantime: Great work with this plugin, I've just replaced syntastic and I couldn't be happier. :)

It's possible. I plan to add this eventually. You can set syntax rules for a given buffer number, line, and column range. It's just a bit of a trick to get it working properly.
