highlight hovered block

Normally, when hovering over an “if then” block, there is no clear indicator of it being hovered over, which could cause confusion and cause people to put the wrong conditional into the wrong “if then” block, causing the script to not work.

A solution to this would be to highlight the block that is being hovered over, such as a light shadow, or something like the indicator that shows a script is activated.

This could help if you have an “if then else” block, and the if portion of the block is being filled up by many ifs, it could be very hard to find the “else” that belongs to the first “if then”

if <(something) = [1]> then 
if <(another thing) = [1]> then
if <(also another thing) = [1]> then

do something

else
do something
end
do something

else
do something
end


else

stop [ v]
end
^ sample script that could use the suggested feature

Yes this would make it easier to read. Goes with another suggestion I suport is you can collapse and expand the content of C-shaped plocks
