Option to set relativenumber in NeogitStatus tab?

[mrcjkb]

Hey 😄

I have tried setting up an autocommand to set relativenumber when in the NeogitStatus tab.
So far, I've tried FileType with NeogitStatus as the pattern, and TabEnter, BufEnter, BufNew, to no avail.

BufNew works the first time I open it, but subsequent calls to neogit.open() result in the number column disappearing again.

Is there a config option that lets me set relativenumber in the NeogitStatus window?

Every time a buffer is loaded, we hide numbers:

neogit/lua/neogit/lib/buffer.lua

Lines 253 to 254 in 1b2f888

	vim.cmd("setlocal nonu")
	vim.cmd("setlocal nornu")

You could wrap that in a config value and expose it to the user. Just keep the defaults as-is :)

Thanks 🙏
I'll look into that.

@mrcjkb is this working for you after your PR? I'm setting disable_line_numbers to false, but line numbers are not enabled when i open NeogitStatus

thanks!

Nope. Looks like it no longer works for me.
I kind of gave up on using relative line numbers, because I found them useless in neogit (the number keys change the fold level, so I can't use them as prefixes for jumps).

Hmm, I wonder what's going on.

Ah, good point though- thanks for the reply!
