Screenshot of how Kate highlights lines

Most code editors (f.i. PyCharm, VSCode, Kate, etc) highlight the line where the cursor is positioned.

See attached image of how Kate highlights the line color.

This is a neat feature that helps you quickly see where the cursor is and I think we should have this in the Basic code editor as well.
