Research direction
Investigate the existing communication mechanism between the vim plugin and the browser preview, likely using WebSockets or similar. Examine the browser side HTML template and JavaScript code that renders the markdown. Determine where to inject a line indicator element and how to update its position based on cursor line events from vim. Look for existing cursor position data in the plugin's messages. The issue is open ended; start by understanding the current architecture and proposing a clear approach.
