I understand that such visual changes are almost always controversial, especially for such a long-lasting editor with its big community. I'd argue that this patch makes the fold and sign column work as the number column is working already -- stopping at the end of the buffer. The functionality of these columns is to signify information about certain lines, but since there can't be anything after the end of the buffer, why should there be a column in the first place? Moreover, the end is also indicated via ~ markers, so you could say that some redundancy is removed. On the other hand I think that some people won't like the change, since it's really just cosmetic and brings nothing new to the table, neither a fix nor a "useful" feature. I know of at least one person who would like to see the exact opposite; making the number column continue after the end of the buffer, so that the ~ markers are always aligned with the actual start of the lines in the file. So, yes, the users should decide. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
