Emacs: highlight region in inactive window?

Question

Is it possible have an active region highlighted, although its window is inactive? I'm debugging a region-manipulating function, having code in one window, and the active region in another. I need to be in the code window to eval, but in the other window to see the region, so currently I have to switch windows each time I update the region.

I've just made a small work-around using hlt-highlight-region, but it's not perfect and I wonder if there's a default way of doing this.

Try option highlight-nonselected-windows -- perhaps it will help you here.
