Re: triggering macro on navigation to new line

Gary,

thanks for this tip, yes it looks like I could use it to do what I
want but my concern is speed. I don't want to trigger a potentially
expensive macro each time the cursor moves anytime, just when the line
number changes.

So perhaps there is a need for CursorLineMoved? I see in vim where I
might be added, but I haven't contributed patches to vim before, so
i'm not sure on how to go about it.
