I like the relative number setting. I'm refactoring code at the moment (translation: explodicating 5 year old terrible methods and replacing them with nice code) and I find it useful to have the setting active on files as I open them
I frequently either open multiple buffers or use a client/server vim to contain all my open buffers/files and have noticed that the relative number only seems to apply to the first buffer (and not the remaining buffers when I have set rnu
in my .vimrc file.)
Is it expected behaviour for rnu to only initially apply to the first buffer until you manually set it?
Ah that makes total sense thank you. I never considered setglobal – connrs – 2011-03-19T08:50:22.273
Did you try it? It's not what the docs say and it's not how it behaves here. – peth – 2011-06-08T03:37:44.187
