Done to satisfy;; a request for a feature of Lesser Editors.;; You probably don't really want this; if the cursor is difficult to;; spot, try changing its colour, relying on `blink-cursor-mode' or;; both. The hookery used might affect response noticeably on a slow;; machine.;; An overlay is used, active only on the selected window. Hooks are;; added to `pre-command-hook' and `post-command-hook' to activate and;; deactivate (by deleting) the overlay. `hl-line-unhighlight', on;; `pre-command-hook', deactivates it unconditionally in case the;; command changes the selected window. (It does so rather than;; keeping track of changes in the selected window).;; `hl-line-highlight', on `post-command-hook', activates it again;; across the window width.;; You could make variable `hl-line-mode' buffer-local to avoid;; highlighting specific buffers.;;; Code:(defgroup hl-line nil "Highlight the current line." :version "21.1" :group 'editing)(defcustom hl-line-face 'highlight "Face with which to highlight the current line." :type 'face :group 'hl-line)(defvar hl-line-overlay nil)(defun hl-line-highlight () "Active the Hl-Line overlay on the current line in the current window.\(Unless it's a minibuffer window.)"
