VS Code Vim: How do you highlight current line?

Question

How do you highlight the current line using Vim VS Code?

This functionality would be awesome. Anyone know if this configuration is possible in Vim VS Code? http://vi

Answer 1

Try this in your settings.json:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {

  "editor.lineHighlightBackground": "#ff0000"
}

This assumes that you have

  "editor.renderLineHighlight": "line",

(that is the default) set to "line" or ""all".

[EDIT after your comment about selecting]

I am not exactly sure what you are looking to do but Ctrl-C selects the current line and Ctrl-I highlights the entire line but doesn't select it. In neither case does the highlighting stay on a previous line after you move the cursor.
