I don't think this is When using vim+tmux, one of the biggest problems was knowing which window I was in. I would start typing in one shell or window and realized that I completely trashed another window. My solution was to make the active buffer background brighter, so ithat at a glance it would be obvious which window was selected. Once moving to Emacs I had to settle for only changing the color of the modeline, along with using hl-line-mode. Either way - it worked. I was far less confused as to which window was receiving my inputs because of this journey. +I think my main guide is this - information that is necessary to act on at high frequency needs to be shown very visibly. There is a clear benefit to making the current state of a system not only understandable, but _clearly obvious_ at a _glance_. + Knowing this, it seemed only natural to fix the mode confusion with a very obvious indicator as to which mode I am in. I have been using some version of =evil-hl-line= for quite a while, and am very pleased with the results. If you use evil mode in Emacs, I think you may find this approach helpful, and I hope you will find this package useful!
