boolean to keep the sign column open at all times #117

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Feature request:

It'd be nice to have an option to keep the sign column open at all times, so 
the window doesn't have to be redrawn when all signs are gone.  This could be a 
boolean like 'autohidesigncol', or (if you can change the width of the sign 
column) it could be a number like 'foldcolumn' is.

Hello, 
Could you give, more details, the context, an example ? This option is for the 
folding feature ?
Thanks !

The desire here is to avoid the text shifting to the left (which can be 
slightly jarring) when the last :sign is 'unplace'd.

Exactly.  I'd like to see this feature too.

I would like this too.  Just about every plugin which uses signs has to include 
a hack to emulate sign-column-always-present behaviour.  (The hack is to add a 
dummy sign to a non-existent line.)  It would be much better to have this 
supported natively in Vim.

Furthermore there are sometimes text glitches when hiding/showing the sign 
column.  Being able to have the sign column always present would reduce the 
opportunities for this to happen.

It is awesome idea. It's pretty annoying to have text shifting all the time
