Vim users: If you'd like to highlight the whole line the cursor is on:

:set cursorline

I just used that when examining package output from dpkg -l so that I could easily see which description matched each package.

@climagic I used it so often that it's mapped to leader l

@lkdjiin Even better: throw it in your vimrc or lua config. Boom, always on.

It was included in a config file I copied when I was just getting started with vim, so It took me a few seconds to remember that's not just default behaviour =)

@astrognocci But I don't want it to be always on ;)
@climagic Good hint, I like that but the :set cursorcolumn is a bit much I think.
