Synced Blocks: highlight the whole SB if it becomes entered
What could be better?
Actually its not clear where a synced Block starts and ends.
I know, if it becomes entered, a kind of context menu appears on the top right. But that's not enougth.
To find out, what belongs to the SB, the user needs to move the cursor up and down, only to find its boundaries. That's really not good --> it should be visible all the time what belongs to the SB when the user is inside it.
Request:
Highlight the whole synced Block when the user enters it.
For example by drawing a frame around it, or by drawing a bright yellow vertical line left from it.
But the highlighting should be active only as long as the cursor is inside the SB.
How so?

Thanks for the detailed example — the video makes it clear. When you're editing inside a synced block, there's no visible boundary showing what content belongs to it, so you have to hunt with the cursor to figure out the extent. A highlight (frame, background tint, or left border) that activates only while the cursor is inside would solve that.
To help us scope this: are you thinking the highlight should appear the moment focus lands anywhere in the synced block, or only after a short delay? And when you move out, should it fade immediately or linger briefly?
