Question

I don't know if it's me, but I think the cursor line location next to the cursor column location changed. It does not behave like the column location. When there is only 1 digit there is no space added.

I don't know if it was always like that or if I'm just starting to slowly go insane :D

Do you mean that it is 0|1│ 1|0 and not 0|1 │ 1|0 ?

It was like that since the initial release around 40 months ago. It is mostly to reduce visually shifting sections while typing (and crossing the tenth column mark): the cursor column is thus %2v (padded to have width 2) and the same is done for total number of columns for symmetry. Maybe should have been like that for line numbers also, but decided to save width. Plus it visually separates lines and columns which can be a good thing.

What catches my eyes was the location section moving, I don't remember it moving that much. It was just imagination I think. Is there a way to configure it to always add a space on the tenth column like with the cursor column location ?

[echasnovski]

Yes: write custom config.content.active (you can use default content as starting point) and instead of section_location() use variation of its code directly. In this case, replace %l and %L with %2l and %-2L.

Ok, that pretty cool, thanks.

Got this in the end.

local location = mini_statusline.is_truncated(75) and '%2l│%-2v' or '%2l|%-2L│%2v|%-2{virtcol("$") - 1}'
