Disabling line numbers on Neotree

[angrygoats]

Hey everyone,

I was enabling line numbers and it seems that if you use the code

   (global-linum-mode)

It will enable line numbers as expected, however it also enables them in neotree! Its not critical or anything, but it seems pointless to have them in there. Is there anything I can add to remove them just for neotree, or is this intended behavior?

Thanks!

SPC t n is a short fix

@robbyoconnor Yeah, that's what I have been doing, I was curious if there was anything I could add to my .spacemacs file. I'm still pretty new to emacs, so you'll have to forgive me.

Try this in your dotfile

(with-eval-after-load 'neotree
  (add-hook 'neotree-mode-hook 
    (lambda () (with-current-buffer " *NeoTree*"
      (setq-local linum-mode nil)))))

@justbur Thank you for your help. I am getting No buffer named *NeoTree* now.

Probably need to use a mode-hook. I can't test this right now but i edited my previous comment to show how. If that doesn't work, I'll figure it out tomorrow for you.

@justbur Very weird. I can play around with it a little, seems to be giving me the same error.

@angrygoats How about this ?

(defun my/neotree-hook (_unused)
  (linum-mode -1))
(add-hook 'neo-after-create-hook 'my/neotree-hook)

[angrygoats]

@syohex Where should I put this in my dotfile?

Put it in dotspacemacs/user-config

[angrygoats]

@syohex @syl20bnr

That worked! awesome!

Thanks everyone.

This really should be default imho.

Oddly enough, I don't have this problem. (global-linum-mode t) is in my .spacemacs, but no line numbers in neotree.

Doing a live reload with f e R is adding them to neotree temporarily but after a clean restart of emacs, they are gone and only in my other buffers.

I've seen it too with global-linum-mode, but they are off by default. Certain actions will turn them on and then they stay on until you restart emacs or toggle them off.

#3557 will solve this.
