Simply inverting the colors when highlighting something seems like very good idea! I think I&#39;m gonna try something like that in Emacs and see where it goes. 2026-03-07T09:01:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszxycl5s2jcj4j937chmjgu9dew7fu4uxy2ajnltw92feqgnqm9fszypga2r72mvdkvn9qe9ykjdccdgf5y0dfcgv6maa0u75qdrskzg2g6rvaczt I keep thinking that most editor color schemes are colorful in a way that is more distracting than helpful. Using low contrast schemes doesn&#39;t really change that. I found one that has almost no colors, but if you do something like search, it highlights the matches very prominently, making them really easy to find. This made me realize that, maybe, it&#39;s less about the colorscheme and more about it adapting to the context? Now I&#39;m wondering what else a *modal* color scheme could be helpful with. But all I can come up with is just this. Highlight whatever you are currently doing, instead of everything, all at once. 2026-03-06T11:55:42Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvenakzvl2multnj9wueau90w9x2vhnkp7e3prcmrh79ra7pgxj6qzypga2r72mvdkvn9qe9ykjdccdgf5y0dfcgv6maa0u75qdrskzg2g6lpht9p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqld3fv232dl42xv9lhc57qngswhcrvkqykshvpenzj908ktppfqq0km4xh'>nevent1q…m4xh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I started a historical timeline in my notes as well.
