I would like to see this feature as well!

I’d love to see this too.

Together with this it would be useful to have a Goto relative line offset, eg:

Goto line (Ctrl+G) :+3 - jump 3 lines down
Goto line (Ctrl+G) :-3 - jump 3 lines up

Really missing this feature in ST now.

Bumping this. Any chance we could get an API or direct implementation to make this possible?

**davicorn** · March 15, 2017, 5:05am

another bump. Now with @wbond working on ST, any chance we might see this implemented anytime soon?

**misterfischer** · June 1, 2017, 3:19pm

I’m just getting into VIM keybindings and it seems like having relative numbering is almost essential. This would be so useful! BUMP

**14b56** · June 1, 2017, 5:23pm

yeah would be a great addition !

**kingkeith** · June 1, 2017, 6:11pm

Plugins can do this now by adding a phantom at column 0 of every line…

**misterfischer** · June 6, 2017, 10:21pm

@kingkeith Can you point to a specific plugin that does it? Or you’re just saying it’s possible now?

**facelessuser** · June 7, 2017, 2:24am

I believe he’s just saying it’s possible.

**farpi** · June 25, 2017, 1:42pm

Hi,
I just created this plugin, now.

Inspired by VintageLine, but this it use Phantoms instead Regions. It’s unestable, yet. Please, help me to improve it, test it and develope it.

Thanks.

This is almost working for me! I can see the relative lines if I scroll to the left, but as soon as I move my cursor, it automatically scrolls to the right and hides them. How do I prevent this?

**urosevic** · June 26, 2017, 6:58pm

Try with enabled word wrapping.

**kingkeith** · June 27, 2017, 8:49am

unfortunately phantoms don’t play well with the indentation guides, making them appear in random places

I doubt there is anything that can be done to fix this, however…

with relative line numbers:

without relative line numbers:

**gerry** · June 28, 2017, 11:29pm

I don’t think it’s possible to implement it using phantoms. At least not a usable solution. There are too many issues and limitations. francescarpi/RelativeLineNumbers is a good attempt.

**hbar** · December 3, 2017, 2:48pm

Is a true relative-numbers plugin still not possible?

**misterfischer** · January 23, 2018, 3:46pm

Relative line numbers in sublime text would be nice

Would like to see this in ST too.

Relative line numbers, because plugins can't properly do it
