Highlight Token Column in Edit Design Data Spreadsheet View
It might not be a game-changing thing, but I spend a lot of time in the spreadsheet view and having to hunt and peck through the columns to find the token I need to edit is a pain in the neck. I took a few seconds to add a "highlight" color the token columns in workbook designer. Now, every time I have to go and tweak some little thing on a part, I'm not plowing through a thousand search results or scrolling left and right - squinting to see if I can find the bore or whatever token I was looking
