In my opinion this is the best solution I have heard. It preserves the functionality of what people on both sides of the issue want without adding additional options. I think it actually makes the numbering options in question a little *more* intuitive: I recall that I was confused when I started using vim because I was not expecting setting nu to also unset rnu and vice versa. I guess I was expecting to see both relative numbers and absolute numbers if both were set to true, even though it is unlikely I would ever want it that way. So to me having both options set to true result in a hybrid numbering scheme that includes the current absolute number and the other numbers as relative makes sense. I believe this is what Christian's patch does, so count me as a fan. Sorry I didn't speak up in support earlier. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
