Me too - a line or two of code, out of maybe 300-500 read. And usually the most interesting commit is not just the most recent one, so I need to start switching back a few versions anyway. So I'm glad magit-blame-addition is only a `C-x v g` away, but I'm also glad it's not polluting my screen with noise the other 99% of the time when I'm focusing on reading the code and not mystified at its provenance.

c-x v g is vc-annotate btw: which is imo a bit better than magit-blame which is kinda hard to follow

Use the margin style (`c` in `magit-blame` mode) if you prefer `vc-annotate`'s default.

I've mentioned in previous Emacs threads, if you aren't running with

         ("<remap> <vc-diff>" . magit-diff-buffer-file)
         ("<remap> <vc-print-log>" . magit-log-buffer-file)
         ("<remap> <vc-print-root-log>" . magit-log-all)
         ("<remap> <vc-annotate>" . magit-blame-addition)
In your magit minor mode maps, what are you even doing?
