Question 1

How to temporarily disable numb.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Call `require('numb').disable()` to globally disable it, and re-enable with `require('numb').setup()` to restore it with your previous options intact.

Question 2

How to center the peeked line in the window?

Accepted Answer

Set `centered_peeking = true` in the setup options to make the peeked line centered relative to the window, improving visibility as per the README.

Question 3

numb.nvim vs vim-peekaboo for previews?

Accepted Answer

numb.nvim specifically previews lines for command-mode number jumps, while vim-peekaboo focuses on register content previews. Choose numb.nvim for line navigation accuracy, but for register insights, vim-peekaboo is more suitable.

Question 4

Can numb.nvim show previews for search results or other commands?

Accepted Answer

No, it only previews lines when entering line numbers in command mode (`:{number}`) and does not support search, substitutions, or other command types.

Question 5

Is numb.nvim compatible with init.vim configuration files?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if using init.vim, you can load it with `:lua require('numb').setup()` as mentioned in the README, ensuring it works in Vimscript setups.

Question 6

How to make numb.nvim peek only for pure numbers like :50?

Accepted Answer

Set `number_only = true` in the options to peek only when the command is exclusively a number (e.g., :50), not when it starts with a number (e.g., :50s/foo/bar).

Question 7

What happens to my custom settings when I disable numb.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Your options are preserved at the module level, so when you re-enable it with `setup()`, it uses your previous customizations or defaults if none were set.
