What are "relative line numbers" in Emacs? I see nothing in these discussions that describes how (with what commands/packages) the line numbers were produced in Emacs. So it's hard to tell anything intelligent about this issue. > One of the spacemacs maintainers specifically said: "I should note that due > to how folding and line numbers work in Emacs this would be nigh impossible > to fix." > I find that difficult to believe given how people in emacs community praise > about emacs infinite extensibility. The right place and way to discuss this is by filing a bug report with all the specifics, including a recipe for reproducing the issue, preferably starting from "emacs -Q". Thanks in advance.
