Description

The code to sync text between multiple panes has been implemented. Now it would be interesting to allow the user to select which panes should sync. This would require making the selection visible to the user by changing the border color for the selected panes.

Research direction
Investigate the existing pane synchronization implementation in Zellij, likely in files under 'src/panes/' or 'src/screen/'. Understand how pane borders are rendered and where state for selected panes could be added. Look at the current UI event handling to add a new selection mode. The issue mentions changing border color for selected panes, so focus on the rendering logic.
