relative line numbers?

[freaya-dev]

So i recently downloaded helix, i liked it, but i wanted vim keybinds, so i got evil helix. And i cant figure out how to get relative line numbers like in vim

line-number = "relative" in the editor section of your config.toml should do the trick @Momma-Eltala. Something like:

[editor]
line-number = "relative"

It would be better if you would refer to Helix's documentation on editor configuration as evil-helix reads from the same config files.

Thank you, both of you all

i did notice just now that when ever im in editor mode its no longer relative

If what you mean by editor mode is the same as insert mode, then it looks to me like that's by design. I see this related discussion and that a PR was created but seems to have stalled out. Perhaps you could let your interest be known* on the latter as some others have to help increase the priority.

*Disclaimer: I'm in no way related to this project or the upstream. I just like it a bunch and wanted to help if I could. I don't know if the maintainers have asked for any particular etiquette or protocol for this kind of thing. You may know more than me. In any case, I wish you luck in getting things worked out to your liking.

Edit: There's a more recent feature request about this.

Thank you for clarifying and finding the existing PR! I had a brief look at it and I wouldn't be opposed to merging it, while waiting for it to be merged upstream. It looks relatively - no pun intended :) - harmless.
