Wiki: Current Line Highlight

The Challenge

One thing I like in many other editors is the "current line highlight" -- it just lights up the current line in another color. I would love to have this feature in vim. There are a few specific things I would love to see:

1. Doesn't screw up syntax highlighting (inverse?)

2. Works on the entire line to the end (not just filled in text)

-- This may well be an impossible task, I don't know, just dreaming here :)

Example(s)

• See line 151: http://www.jedit.org/jedit-snap-29.png

Here are some related links I found around:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=555

• Works on the term, which is good.
• Has performance issues, and doesn't cover the whole line.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vim/message/25688

• These don't seem to work with me, but might make sense to someone.

http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=263

• The first one worked on a term here, 2 lines long.
• Doesn't cover the whole line.

This entry was deemed basically un-doable -- sadly.

I assume you mean it's not possible without a patch.

Vim 7.0 can now do this easily with:

:set cursorline

For more info see:

:help cursorline
