    Essentially, it’s just the following autocmds:

    augroup CursorLine
        au!
        au VimEnter * setlocal cursorline
        au WinEnter * setlocal cursorline
        au BufWinEnter * setlocal cursorline
        au WinLeave * setlocal nocursorline
    augroup END
    

    But occasionally, you may want to define exceptions (i.e. permanently on or off) for certain windows. That’s where my CursorLineCurrentWindow plugin may be helpful.
