Better Highlight of Table Row in the EDITOR

PHPMaker (and your other apps) now has SO many options for each table and field that in the EDITOR (not the generated application) it is quite difficult to see what row one is trying to work on.
The only visual cue is the right-pointing triangle at the FAR left.
It would be great if the editor could be upgraded to allow row highlighting. (customizable? including the ability to turn on and off would be good too!)
Thanks for your consideration.

Please be reminded there are also:
- table name in the bottom status bar
- Table tab for the table (not the "Tables" tab for all tables), see Table Setup in the help file.

Your comments are very true.
Please consider, however, that looking at the status bar does not help staying visually "aligned" within a row when one has to shift eyes all the way down to the bottom and then up again.
Also, I think it is generally faster to work in the horizontal view than in the table tab -- but perhaps I will try working there more.
Thanks.
