Highlight current scope - full buffer width?

[weilbith]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I like the idea of having the current scope highlighted. But I must admit that I get "annoyed" that only the texts background changes. So depending on the different lines length and empty lines etc this just looks ugly in my very personal opinion.

Describe the solution you'd like
The highlight applies to the full line for the whole length of the buffer like the cursorline does.
I'm afraid that is not simply possible from the current highlight API...

Describe alternatives you've considered
Well, just disable the current scope highlight...

Additional context

My original idea was to dim non-current-scope text a bit, at least this should be possible now.

Came here from pwntester/octo.nvim#105

There is a workaround to apply a highlight to the whole window-width line (including EOL space). You can define a sign and apply a linehl group such as in:

sign define octo_comment text=❯ texthl=OctoNvimCommentLine linehl=OctoNvimCommentLine 

not sure if this helps here though 🤷🏻

Do sign highlights sum up? Let's say I have a LSP diagnostic error in my current scope. This LSP sign has no linhehl but only a text. Would I then still have the background color of the lower prio sign from current scope? Sorry if that reads confusing. I should just try it out myself...

Im not sure, I guess the best way to figure it out is try adding two signs on the same line with different hl options
