Active Line Highlighting

Active Line Highlighting in Primary

If you need better visibility of which line you are at in your notes, you can toggle Active Line Highlighting.

To get this feature you have to turn it on via Style Settings. Here are the steps to toggle them:

  1. In your Obsidian vault, open up Settings.
  2. Under Community Plugins, click on Style Settings. Optionally, if you prefer to customize outside of the Settings modal, you can open up Style Settings through the Command Palette and looking for Style Settings: Show style settings view.
  3. On the Style Settings tab, navigate to Primary Theme Settings -> Interface -> Editor.
  4. Scroll down a bit and turn on Toggle Active Line Highlighting.

This feature works with or without Line Numbers.

If you’d like to toggle Line Numbers in your editor, here are the steps to toggle them:

  1. In your Obsidian vault, open up Settings.
  2. Go to the Editor tab.
  3. Scroll down a bit and toggle Show Line Numbers. And there you go!
