Highlighting agenda line

Highlighting agenda line

[Rainer Stengele]

Being in agenda view I find it nice to see the lines moved over by mouse highlighted.

I have quite long agenda lines. As the cursor in agenda view stays at the beginning of the line its
quite hard to track in which line I am at the moment with the cursor.

I would therefore also like the line where the cursor is in highlighted.
Am I missing a custom parameter or do I have to look elesewhere?

,----[ C-h f hl-line-mode RET ]
| hl-line-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `hl-line.el'.
| (hl-line-mode &optional ARG)
| 
| Buffer-local minor mode to highlight the line about point.
| With ARG, turn Hl-Line mode on if ARG is positive, off otherwise.
| 
| If `hl-line-sticky-flag' is non-nil, Hl-Line mode highlights the

| `hl-line-highlight' on `post-command-hook' in this case.
| 
| When `hl-line-sticky-flag' is nil, Hl-Line mode highlights the
| line about point in the selected window only.  In this case, it
| uses the function `hl-line-unhighlight' on `pre-command-hook' in
| addition to `hl-line-highlight' on `post-command-hook'.

Try

(add-hook org-agenda-mode-hook 'hl-line-mode)

It should be:
(add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook 'hl-line-mode)
