Line Number layout too close when using spacemacs in iTerm(and OSX terminal)

[boboRAY]

When using Gui Emacs
There is a space between line number and code region

But using spacemacs in iTerm2 (Terminal the same), they become too close

This is probably because fringes are not available in the terminal.

You could add padding yourself using linum-format.

(unless (display-graphic-p)
  (setq linum-format "%d "))

;; Alternatively
(unless (display-graphic-p)
  (setq linum-format (concat linum-format " ")))

it does not work while dotspacemacs-line-numbers set to relative

dotspacemacs-line-numbers 'relative

---

I have resolved the it...

;; codes in linum-relative.el
(defcustom linum-relative-format "%3s "
   "Format for each line. Good for adding spaces/paddings like so: \" %3s \""
   :type 'string
   :group 'linux-relative)

..., so, what we should do is just adding following snippets into user-config:

(unless (display-graphic-p)
        (setq linum-relative-format "%3s "))

;; Alternatively
(unless (display-graphic-p)
  (setq linum-relative-format (concat linum-relative-format " ")))

I still have this issue. @MephistoMMM Did I miscomprehend how to use the workaround?

That is the bottom of my .spacemacs file. I have restarted emacs with this configuration, and that is what linum-mode looks like.

Well, I mean, add the snippets into dotspacemacs/user-config function, as follows:

(defun dotspacemacs/user-config ()

    (unless (display-graphic-p)
           (setq linum-relative-format "%3s "))

    ;; Alternatively
    (unless (display-graphic-p)
          (setq linum-relative-format (concat linum-relative-format " ")))

)

Not the bottom of your .spacemacs file

This issue is still valid on the latest version of emacs and spacemacs on iTerm2. This solution works but I'm confused as I thought display-line-numbers was the default and not linum.

[duianto]

display-line-numbers are the default line numbers when Emacs 26+ is used on the Spacemacs develop branch.

[lebensterben]

Closing due to its age.

For future references a work around is available for users of linum here: #5609 (comment)

But Spacemacs now requires >Emacs 27 and display-line-numbers is the default so it's not relevant anymore.
