Neovim plugin that automatically toggles between relative and absolute line numbers based on editor mode.
nvim-numbertoggle is a Neovim plugin that automatically toggles between relative and absolute line numbers based on the editor's mode and focus. It solves the problem of manually switching number modes by intelligently displaying relative numbers for navigation in normal mode and absolute numbers for other contexts like insert mode or unfocused windows.
Neovim users who frequently navigate code and want an automated, seamless way to switch between relative and absolute line numbers without manual toggling.
Developers choose nvim-numbertoggle for its zero-configuration automation, Lua performance, and context-aware behavior that eliminates the friction of manually managing line number modes in Neovim.

Works out-of-the-box with no required setup after installation; the README shows a simple installation snippet for packer.nvim.
Intelligently toggles between relative and absolute numbers based on mode and focus; relative numbers appear only in focused buffers during normal mode for efficient navigation.
Written in Lua, it leverages Neovim's native performance for faster and smoother plugin execution, as noted in the project description.
Follows an unobtrusive philosophy that automates common workflows without cluttering the editor interface, keeping it clean and responsive.
The plugin offers minimal to no configuration options; users cannot easily adjust toggling rules or add exceptions without modifying the source code.
May interfere with other plugins that manage line numbers or window focus, leading to unpredictable behavior in complex Neovim setups.
Lacks support for hybrid line numbers, custom formatting, or integration with visual mode, which are common requests in similar plugins.
