ubuntu vim 显示行号 Getting VIM to show the line numbers be default

vi / vim show line number command

To display line numbers along the left side of a window, type any one of the following:

:set number

 

or

:set nu

 

You can also define a mapping to toggle the option, for example:

:nmap <C-N><C-N> :set invnumber<CR>

 

By pressing Ctrl-N twice in normal mode, Vim toggles between showing and hiding line numbers.

 

If you have Vim version 7 or greater, you can change the width of the "gutter" column used for numbering:

:set numberwidth=3

 

You can use the number column for the text of wrapped lines:

:set cpoptions+=n

 

Finally, you can change the color used for the line numbers. For example:

:highlight LineNr term=bold cterm=NONE ctermfg=DarkGrey ctermbg=NONE gui=NONE guifg=DarkGrey guibg=NONE

To turn off line number again enter the same command:

:set nonumber

 

or

:set nu!

 

If you need number every time you start vi/vim, append following line to your ~/.vimrc file:

set number

 

In OSX, edit the vim config file located at:  /usr/share/vim/vimrc

For Ubuntu , the file is located at: /etc/vim/vimrc
