I've just discovered Vim's recently-added 'relativenumber' option, which has been doing wonders for me when editing text in MacVim and in gVim.

Much to my dismay, it doesn't seem to be available in jVi. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could implement it because it'd definitely save me some time doing homework for my Java class. Thanks in advanced!

    The line number feature you see in jVi is implemented by NetBeans.
    You could file a feature request against NetBeans. If it is part of NB, then jVi would support using it through options and :set command.

    Sorry.

    I suppose the reason for your inability to add this feature on your own is a technical one, but wouldn't this be a hard sell for the NetBeans developers? I can't think of any use for it outside of facilitating keyboard navigation with this plugin.

    My disinterest in adding this feature is a question of time/effort verses the expected return. I haven't studied the problem, so I only have a vague idea of the effort. I suspect much of the work would be understanding the NetBeans code that provides the line numbers.

    If you'd like to undertake the development, I'd be happy to provide what support I can.

    Not sure if I can do that at the moment due to school, but I appreciate the offer. Keep up the great work on this plugin.
