The value margin-left: -10px should be "-#{border_left_width}px". If border-left is 0, margin-left should also be 0.

However, this border-left is a highlight of the focused method. Could you suggest a better highlight instead of completely removing it?

Ah, that makes sense now. Given that the anchor link reliably brings the method to the top of the viewport, I think we could remove both border-left and margin-left.

The method name is easy to spot without extra highlighting. It will look like this if we remove both the border and margin:

This is one of the features of RDoc. I don't want to remove it as possible if it is fixable.

This border-left exists in other links to heading tags, not only to method links.
heading_borderleft_style

Differences are:
Border-left to method links are applied to the whole div.method-detail content while border-left to other links are only applied to heading tags.

How about changing the border-left target to heading of the method detail?
It will be more consistent between method links and other links to heading tags.

- main .method-detail:target {
+ main .method-detail:target .method-heading {

Can you leave the margin-left and border style as is?

There is a layout shift. On the other hand, h2:target and the original .method-detail:target doesn't have this layout shift.
layout_shift

Of course we can discuss adding a padding to h2:target and/or .method-detail:target .method-heading, with or without this layout shift.
But it's easy to merge if the point of this pull request is clear.

Sure thing. Sorry for all the back and forth. Updated.
