The link refers to the earlier version as Tony mentioned. This one is newer: http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev/attach/10fa0944a8b643b4/vim-7.2-relativenumber-02.patch?part=2 It seems as if the interest in this feature is not as small as supposed by Bram. Well, it's an exotic feature, and maybe its strangeness is it's destiny. However, there are several drawbacks to your plugin, where the numbers aren't shown correctly. These are just the major issues: - folding isn't handled (I wonder what the bugfix log "Aug 18, 2008 * Fixed some bugs associated with folding" is all about) - scrolling without cursor movement (zz Ctrl-E ...) And last but not least the performance problem. In view of that, I wonder if the enthusiastic users of this plugin have ever tested my patch, which is a lot more usable at this time.
