Re: Please consider using highlightening in occur-mode-display-occurrence

[Matzi Kratzi]

Stefan Monnier asked me if I had used hl-line-mode in the occur buffers.

I think Juri got what I meant: I think the corresponding location in
the "source" buffer is not marked enough. A behaviour like grep where
there location is temporarily highlighted is nice. (But there you end
up in the source buffer, and I would like to be able to stay in the
*occur* or the *grep* buffer.)
