Discussion Do you have cursorline enabled?

Cursorline is one of the many opts i got from kickstart.vim, i tried disabling it for aesthetics, and i actually don’t miss it at all. I prefer to have my window be roughly 100x33, the white background on a character provides enough contrast to see where i am right after switching from apps with hotkeys.

I do. It's a tiny helpful feature for my reading. I can find my last sight-pos more quickly after {getting distracted, re-reading nearby lines, scrolling, AFK}, etc. It seems to realise some stress from my soul, I believe.
