Sorry, I didn't understand that you were asking for a definition. The distinction is: modes in which the effects of any command invoked (other than horizontal cursor movement commands) are determined solely by the current line that point is on and are unaffected by the current column. >> Consider an Emacs tic-tac-toe game, for example. > > Does it belong to the modes where you want hl-line-mode on or off? off (actually I also want to massively de-emphasize the cursor in that set of modes) > Why? because in that mode, presumably, you'd be able to hit `SPC' on a square of the board and get an "X" or "O" in that square, and several squares are lined up horizontally on the same line in tic-tac-toe. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
