While I see value in the proposed change, I prefer to keep the old behavior, too. It subtly reminds me that I'm editing a long physical line with 'wrap' on, and helps me in choosing j/k or gj/gk for navigation. Since this hasn't been brought up since 'cursorline's introduction in Vim 7.0, I guess that the majority doesn't object to the current behavior, neither. -- regards, ingo -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
