Is it really not possible, even by plugin, to use absolute and relative numbering at the same time? While being able to switch is great, having both at the same time (in the form of a second column next to absolute numbers) would be amazing.

I have more than enough horizontal space, and this would be a great way to use it.

It is technically possible. There is a plugin from before +relativenumber was a feature, called RltvNmbr[1]. It's a bit broken (doesn't update the line numbers very smoothly) but it displays the relative numbering side-by-side with the absolute numbering.

I just don't use relative numbering enough to warrant trying to re-write it. Maybe you do?
