Make the icons the same width as the normal line number gutter

[leonardt]

When changing between insert and normal mode, the screen jumps as the width of the gutter in the different modes are different. It's a bit jarring, would it be possible to have the widths be consistent?

so is this ever going to be done? Or even better to have normal numbers instead of images.

So the problem is that the relative line numbers are drawn in the designated "icon" area of the line (the same place "marks" are drawn via cmd+F2, or where GitGutter draws its icons see: #37). Then, it just completely disables the normal line-numbers via

self.view.settings().set('line_numbers', False)

So this is a fundamental issue with the plugin — and likely why the author refers to it as "janky". It's clever, but it means that this will likely never be implemented unless someone finds a way to have these line numbers replace the normal ones.

Has anyone ever seen any plugin that affects the line numbers themselves in any way? That might be the key to getting this feature.

Is there any way to set the font of the new ones? if we can set the font and width of the gutter, it would effectively do the same thing
