Depending on the use of hl-line (see below), it can be useful/important to have its overlay appear on top of other overlays that might exist. 2. Consider integrating the features of these small add-on libraries: vline.el - http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/vline.el http://bitbucket.org/buzztaiki/elisp/src/tip/vline.el author: Taiki SUGAWARA hl-line+.el - http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/hl-line+.el (requires hl-line.el) col-highlight.el - http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/col-highlight.el (requires vline.el) crosshairs.el - http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/crosshairs.el (requires hl-line+.el and col-highlight.el) The last three are my code. For vline.el you would need to check whether Sugawara san has signed or will sign papars. vline.el is needed for the other code (except for hl-line+.el). 3. What they do: vline.el - column highlighting hl-line+.el - Alternative hl-line behaviors: turn it on only when Emacs is idle, or turn it on for only a few seconds (flash). col-highlight.el - Alternative column highlighting behaviors: idle or flash (see previous). crosshairs.el - Puts line & column highlighting together, to provide crosshairs for easily locating point. Suggested keybinding: `crosshairs-mode' to `C-+'. 4. hl-line+.el and col-highlight.el allow a user to set the overlay priority. This can be especially important for crosshairs highlighting and perhaps for vertical highlighting as well. Whether you want such highlighting to appear "on top" depends on what you use the highlighting for. It generally makes sense to show crosshairs on top. 5. I can provide a patch if you want to do this. What is patched and how would depend on what is decided. IMO, it is good to have the possibility to use line and column highlighting separately, as well as together. And it is good to let users specify the overlay priorities separately. And it is good to let users use such highlighting in various ways, including automatically on idle, to locate the current line/column etc. Personally, I use only `crosshairs-mode', binding it to `C-+' to toggle crosshairs on/off quickly.
