I was trying to achieve the following:

I changed `prefix-command-preserve-state-hook' to momentarily enable
`linum-relative-mode` on C-u, this would help me guess how many times I
need to repeatedly press C-u get to a specific line. With a
multiplicative factor of 4, I found it hard to get to every line
easily.

I think I should just use something else for my use case. Maybe
`avy-goto-line`. 

Best,
