Hi. I use a light background (set background=light). I like tab
indicators with lower contrast, so I highlight them with light grey:

I recently tried :set cursorline and really liked it. I've set the
cursor line colour with:

     hi CursorLine guibg=#e5efff

Normal line tab indicators are grey, but when I move my cursor over a
line with cursorline enabled, the tab indicator goes black. I find
this really distracting. Can I keep the tab indicator colour that I've
set and still use cursorline? I tried hacking around to overwrite the
cursorline's overwrite with a new match for /\t\+/ but still ran into
the same problem.

Thanks, Paul


After a little experimenting it seems to be not only the CursorLine highlight but also the Visual highlight: when I use V followed by up-down motion to highlight lines of text, with ":set list listchars=tab:\|_,eol:ś", all my hard tabs (SpecialKey highlight) and ends-of-lines (NonText highlight) become black everywhere in the Visual area.

AFAIK there's nothing we can do about it. I don't know if it's documented (or where) but it might even be intentional.


Best regards,
Tony.
