'Cursorline' in the setting of 'wordwrap' in VIM

Question

I'm writing some documents using VIM, and I don't like to create my own line breaks. Instead I just use ":set nowrap&" & "set lbr". I also have "set cursorline" activated.

The problem is that the cursorline will underline the entire block of text rather than the line I'm working on.

Is there a way to make cursorline pretend that my soft-wrapped lines are just regular lines?

From :h cursorlinopt:

'cursorlineopt' 'culopt' string (default: "number,line")
          local to window
          {not available when compiled without the +syntax
          feature}
  Comma separated list of settings for how 'cursorline' is displayed.
  Valid values:
  "line"      Highlight the text line of the cursor with
          CursorLine hl-CursorLine.
  "screenline"    Highlight only the screen line of the cursor with
          CursorLine hl-CursorLine.
  "number"    Highlight the line number of the cursor with
          CursorLineNr hl-CursorLineNr.

You can use set cursorlineopt=number,screenline to accomplish what you want.
