How do you remove secondary line numbers column?

[pentago]

I'm aware that the line numbers column can be removed with --style=plain but how does one remove the other line numbers column?

Hi!

Can you reproduce this problem everywhere? I can not reproduce. Can you provide detailed step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce please?

It would also be helpful if you could paste the output of bat --diagnostic

[pentago]

I just run bat --style=plain

comparison between regular and plain style:

I bet you get numbers also with plain cat? I suspect your shell is adding the numbers for any output.

In any case, I would be grateful if you could provide the output of bat --diagnostic.

No line numbers were added with regular cat.

Here's the diagnostic output:

Interesting. Some follow up questions. Do you get the same line numbering problems if you

1. use native macOS version of zsh, i.e. SHELL=/bin/zsh
2. show the file with pure less?
3. try to reproduce with a newly created user on that machine?

Godamn. I had the following env var configured in .zshrc: export LESS='-sMEFRNXI' where N shows line numbers.
Once I removed it from the rest of the flags, bat started working nicely.

THanks for pointing me in right direction! Didn't know bat depends on less for displaying.
