# Lin Lin is a stylistic enhancement for Emacs' built-in `hl-line-mode`. It remaps the `hl-line` face (or equivalent) buffer-locally to a style that is optimal for major modes where line selection is the primary mode of interaction. The idea is that `hl-line-mode` cannot work equally well for contexts with competing priorities: (i) line selection, or (ii) simple line highlight. In the former case, the current line needs to be made prominent because it carries a specific meaning of some significance in the given context: the user has to select a line. Whereas in the latter case, the primary mode of interaction does not revolve around the line highlight itself: it may be because the focus is on editing text or reading through the buffer's contents, so the current line highlight is more of a reminder of the point's location on the vertical axis. Lin can also integrate with the GNOME desktop environment to update its `lin-face` when the user changes an accent colour. This is what the minor mode `lin-gnome-accent-color-mode` is for. + Package name (GNU ELPA): `lin` + Official manual: + Change log: + Git repositories: + GitHub: + GitLab: + Backronym: LIN Is Noticeable.
