Option to enable limelight only for the current buffer

[deiwin]

Would it be possible to, say, jump between splits while having limelight enabled in only one of them?

You can apply this patch and set g:limelight_buffer_local. I currently don't feel like adding it to master.

That's perfect. Thanks!

Okay, maybe not perfect :) Toggling limelight, while it's enabled in a different buffer than the current one, will disable it in that other buffer and doesn't do anything in the current one.

Ah, too bad :) I don't want to add the feature because I basically don't need it and it makes the state transition more complex. Feel free to fork the repo if you need it.

[deiwin]

That's understandable :) I'll see how much it pains me to go without the feature.
