Slick EDIT V3.3 - Manual (Page 161)

Color Coding
This feature is designed to combine current line coloring, modified line coloring, and language-specific
coloring. By default, the fundamental mode colors the current line. Languages with specific support
already defined (i.e. keywords, comments, etc.) use language-specific coloring.
If modified line coloring is active, the left edge of the window displays a different color depending on
whether the line was inserted or modified. To change the colors, use the Color Settings dialog box. For
more information see,
Colors .
When current line color coding is active, language-specific color coding for the current line is not view-
able.
If you want to know what lines have been modified, bind the command color_modified_toggle to a key.
It will toggle display of modified lines in a different color on/off. You can bind the color_toggle command
to a key as well. This command toggles between current line, modified line, and language specific color-
ing individually.
