Display line numbers on the main window only

• Fixes Main Column Line Numbers Only #1751

---

Currently the number and relativenumber options display line numbers on all windows. This is in contrast to other file managers like ranger and joshuto, which display line numbers on the main window only.

Warning

This is a breaking change as it modifies the existing behavior of the UI. If anyone is against this, we can instead consider adding an option to toggle this behavior.

Either I have an enormous skill issue or this change doesn't seem to exist in the main repo?

This is at the relevant commit's hash:

And this is when I open the commit history normally.

I've patched it in manually for now but a proper merge (if one is needed) would be much obliged.

Not a skill issue, actually I ended up deleting my fork to test something else and then forgot that any existing PRs would be closed.

Another thing I didn't realize before, but I was thinking it makes sense to display numbers in the parent directory as well. It would be useful for commands like moving up/down in the parent directory. A simplified configuration example would be something like: this:

cmd move-parent &{{
    lf -remote "send $id :updir; push ${lf_count}${1}"
    lf -remote "send $id open"
}}

map J move-parent j
map K move-parent k

Hmm, I see your point, but I don't think it's useful to have that much fine-grained control.

For instance, my only use case for the move-parent command is scanning through directories' contents at a glance.

Shall we make an issue to discuss this?

That's OK, I reopened #1751.
