Question

hi, recently I enabled mini.starter in my config. And I used below snippets to disable number and relativenumber when starter opened. But it didn't work.

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
  pattern = "MiniStarterOpened",
  callback = function()
    if vim.bo.filetype == "ministarter" then
      local winid = vim.cpi.nvim_get_current_win()
      vim.wo[winid].number = false
      vim.wo[winid].relativenumber = false
    end
  end,
})

I also searched in the community, but didn't find a good solution. Does anybody have similar experience? Thank you in advance.

Both 'number' and 'relativenumber' are disabled in 'mini.starter' buffers. The reason for those still showing almost surely lies outside of 'mini.starter'.

In particular, there is vim.opt.relativenumber = true, which gets executed later. This means that it sets relative number in current window also.

There are several ways to adjust this:

• Use vim.go.relativenumber = true to explicitly set global value of this option. This won't affect currently opened window-buffers combinations, but should be used for future ones.
• Set all options during startup (i.e. in now and not later), possibly even as one of the first things.

thank you so much for your help. Works perfectly using the first approach!
