Delay in highlighting current line

Delay in highlighting current line

[Markus Gritsch]

Hi,

Using goto-line in global-hl-line-mode does not immediately highlight 
the line jumped to, but it takes about two seconds before the line gets 
highlighted.  Is this a bug or can I customize something to make the 
line highlighted immediately?

Steps to reproduce:
* start Emacs with -D -Q
* M-x global-hl-line-mode <RET>
* press <RET> a few times to insert some lines
* M-x goto-line <RET>
* 3
-> The cursor jumps to that line, but the line highlighting takes 2 
seconds to appear.

Kind regards,
Markus

This delay is caused by the message:

  You can run the command `goto-line' with M-g g

whose duration is controlled by `suggest-key-bindings'.  When it is 0,
there is no delay.

Ah, thank you very much.  This solves the problem.
