Hi Eli, I've tested this for a couple of days on Windows and it seems to be very good, with clear documentation in the manual. Oone thing I often find useful is to view absolute line numbers from the whole buffer while narrowed to a region (e.g. a single function of a source file). This can be handy to limit the portion of a file for navigation while displaying line numbers that match logs produced by external tools. linum-mode can be persuaded to do this with a little extra code, but I could not see how to do this with the new feature. Please indicate if this is possible, or consider adding it as another way to display line numbers. AndyM
