Is it possible to not use hunk header and see absolute (true) not relative line numbers?

[FrankensteinPillow]

When I disable hunk header (set hunk-header-style = omit) the line numbers are calculated as relative numbers, but i want to see absolute numers in diff. I realy want see absolute line numbers without hunk header, please tell me how to set it up, if of course it's possible.
Thank you in advance))

With hunk headers

Without hunk headers

My git config

[interactive]
    diffFilter = delta --color-only

[diff]
    colorMoved = default

[delta]
    side-by-side = true
    features = line-numbers decorations
    whitespace-error-style = 22 reverse
    hunk-header-style = omit
    syntax-theme = base16

[delta "line-numbers"]
    line-numbers = true
    line-numbers-minus-style = red
    line-numbers-zero-style = "#444444"
    line-numbers-plus-style = green
    line-numbers-left-format = "{nm:^4}┊"
    line-numbers-right-format = "{np:^4}│"
    line-numbers-left-style = red
    line-numbers-right-style = green

[delta "decorations"]
    commit-decoration-style = bold yellow box ul
    file-style = bold yellow ul
    file-decoration-style = none
    hunk-header-decoration-style = yellow box

Hi @nortliteborealis! You're right, this is a bug with hunk-header-style=omit. It's actually the same as reported in #293 and #274 (but the issue titles make it hard to search for.) It's the top priority bug to fix next.

Thank you very much for your reply and I apologize for duplicating the issue. I will wait for a solution of this problem. Delta is a super tool!

Hi @nortliteborealis,

@Ryuta69's work is fixing this issue (not released yet).

I really want see absolute line numbers without hunk header,

Can you tell me more about how you use delta without hunk headers. If there's a file with multiple hunks, how do you tell when one hunk ends and the next starts?

Would you like there to be a blank line separating the hunks? Or do you want the next hunk to literally follow straight on, as if there was no break in the underlying code?

Hi @dandavison

Without using hunk headers, I would like to see modified hunks with an empty line separator in a different color, perhaps with some special character, such as "@@ ... @@" or just "..." or something else. I think that the presence of such symbols will give an intuitive understanding that these are different hunks.

Thank you!

I think that I can close this issue, because in version 0.4.5 it is no longer there.

Thanks for the work you've done!

Right, thanks @nortliteborealis. This should be fixed now due to @Ryuta69's work.
