Relativenumber not working correctly when set from vsvimrc

[chtenb]

Describe the bug
When setting the set relativenumber in _vsvimrc, the middle number does not reflect the actual line number

However, when leaving it out of _vsvimrc, and then setting it manually in command mode with :set relativenumber it just works!

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Visual Studio version: 17.7.5
• VsVim version: newest
• Programming Language: any
• Check(Type 'x') any that are installed:
  • ReSharper
  • Visual Assist

I noticed this as well. Until this is fixed, you can include in your _vsvimrc set number and that will show both relative numbers above and below, but the current line would have the actual line number as desired.

Ah, thanks for mentioning this. That is a very reasonable workaround

I think this is the same behavior as real Vim when set number has not been set.

Interesting, that would suggest that :set relativenumber somehow also does :set number under the hood when run from commandmode, but not when run from _vsvimrc.

I can't turn it on once and for all. Every time I open file

I have to type: ":set relativenumber". How have you done this?

[chtenb]

I've put set number and set relativenumber in vimrc

Hopefully this helps. In my %USERPROFILE% I added a blank text file with the contents

set relativenumber
set number

saved the file as .vimrc (note the removal of the .txt extension), and then restart Visual Studio with the VsVim extension enabled.

I have a .vsvimrc

That's where I added this

set relativenumber
set number
