Highlight current line in org-agenda

Question

Running Doom Emacs v2.0.9 on Emacs 27.1.

In the agenda buffer, how do I get the current line highlighted?

global-hl-line-mode is enabled and the current line in other buffers is highlighted as expected.

However, agenda buffer does not show this highlighting.

Even you are using global-hl-line-mode. You have to still be sure local variables(Which can be different for different buffers) are correct.

I have like that definition in my files. Reverse should be correct for you.

  ;; Don' use globl-hl-line-in-org-agenda
  (add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook (lambda () (setq-local global-hl-line-mode nil)))

I highly recommend to use helpful package to see this variables in good format.

Thanks. But disabling global-hl-line-mode while in an agenda buffer did not change the display. Also, the solution suggested by @gigiair worked perfectly.

(add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook (lambda () (setq-local global-hl-line-mode t))) ? weird that it didn't work.
