I have set my number line relative to cursor as such:
(global-display-line-numbers-mode 1)
(setq display-line-numbers-type 'relative)
But, In a long file with line-difference more than 4digit (1000+), change in 3digit to 4digit makes my text jump when I move around. ( https://asciinema.org/a/gCKoaT7DymQoDiFklHBKJHBgC ).
This answer 7years, suggests to customize relative-line-numbers-format variable. But I don't know how.
how change set relative line number 4-digit, or whatever-many-digit?
Following, command removes the issue by setting the width longer.
(setq display-line-numbers-width 4)
This only works in a current buffer, I still couldn't figure it to make globally change it.
Added to my keybindings, so that I use it each time opening big org-files.
relative-line-numbers-formatvariable any longer (at least I can't find it after loadingdisplay-line-numbers). But doC-h v display-line-numbers-widthand see if that helps.
