Incompatibility with neo-tree fuzzy search cursorline highlight

[Frydac]

Hi,

Not sure if I should post it here or on neo-tree issues.

I thought, at least I report it, so it is known.

But when using neo-tree, it has a fuzzy search functionality (default / when tree is open), where it opens a one-line floating window at the bottom of the tree window to type the search term in, it will then filter the tree to only show matching files (in tree form). While the cursor is in the floating window, it should have a cursorline highlight in the tree showing the current selected tree node, which can be altered with <up> and <down>. This highlight should be shown while the cursor remains in insert mode in the floating window with the search term.

When modes.nvim is installed, the described cursorline highlight is not visible.

I tried add the filetype 'neo-tree' to the ignore_filetypes configuration option, but that didn't seem to help.

This seems similar to https://github.com/mvllow/modes.nvim/issues/28

We'll leave this one open if anyone is able to come up with a solution :)

@mvllow @Frydac can you guys try these patches branches? I don't know which one is the desired behavior or fits the tree-navigation workflow as I'm not using neo-tree (or NvimTree)

EDIT: Updated V1

@mvllow I also always disable set_cursorline since I have my own autocmd for that, so maybe I missed something on this bug

The first method seems more desirable in my opinion. Unable to test with neo-tree at the moment but I think we could pretty safely merge this change, especially if we tag a release before-hand.
