statuscolumn support - blocked

[gukz]

Neovim has support the new feature: statuscolumn https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/20621 please allow user config this property and set it to the tree window buffer.

currently, if I set the statuscolumn for global, the tree window's statuscolumn will not always update. see below, I set the statuscolumn="%=%{v:relnum?v:relnum:v:lnum} "

what am I request for? 1, allow user customize the statuscolumn just like the signcolumn. 2, fix the statuscolumn update bug (optional)

This is fantastic news! It allows more flexibility for sign placement.

I don't think this is ready yet:

:; nvim --version
NVIM v0.9.1
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.1692616192

nvim --clean README.md

:let &statuscolumn="%=%{v:relnum?v:relnum:v:lnum} "

Cursor down and watch the line number become corrupted:

Let's revisit this once the feature is ready.

@alex-courtis I can't replicate issue you described above. There were numerous fixes regarding statuscolumn on master since September.

Still happening on 0.9.4

master (983defd28) too.

I think I'm doing it wrong.

@alex-courtis According to the documentation of statuscolumn:

When using v:relnum, keep in mind that cursor movement by itself will not cause the 'statuscolumn' to update unless 'relativenumber' is set.

It says that if one want to use v:relnum, one must also set relativenumber to keep line number updated.

So, if you set

:set relativenumber
:let &statuscolumn="%=%{v:relnum?v:relnum:v:lnum} "

the corrupted line numbers go away. :)

Thank you.

That works beautifully: view.relativenumber = true results in :let &statuscolumn="%=%{v:relnum?v:relnum:v:lnum} " functioning correctly.

@gukz are you satisfied with this outcome?
