- oa -- Option Absolute
-
- default range syntax
- 1,$ oa
-
- "oa" toggles the Absolute line numbers flag, which determines
- whether the numbers in the left margin shall be absolute line
- numbers, or the (usually capital) letters that refer to lines
- by the position at which they are being displayed on the
- screen. In any case, the current line is always shown as "."
- (with the "->" arrow to make it easy to find), the first line
- in the buffer is labeled "1", and the last, "$" (when not
- "."). Lines can be referred to by letter ONLY when the
- letters appear in the left margin.
-
- For general information about the option command, type "ho".
- See also "hln" for how lines can be referred to in commands.
