A faster way to do this is
:set nu

An even better way, if you like maps: Put this in your .vimrc file:
:nmap <C-N><C-N> :set invnumber <CR>
By pressing Ctrl-N twice (or some other shortcut you fancy) in normal mode, you can toggle between showing and hiding line numbers.

and to get the line numbers on hardcopies too use:
:set printoptions=number:y

Even better--
:se nu!
That /toggles/ line numbers, so when you're ready to lose them, the toggle is in your history.

| Is there a way to adjust the width of the gutter used by the line numbers? Right now it leaves enough room for several thousand lines, and rarely are my files more than a few hundred. It would be nice if it would only take up as much room as necessary.

| spliffy asked about the gutter size. Try setting the printoption left:0in. Originally I used left:0pc and it did nothing. This will move everything, including header to the left.

| So, is it possible to set the gutter to a resonable size? In my files I'd hardly use 3-digit line numbers.

| Yes, I hardly use read code with more than 9999 lines as well... some solution would be nice.

| I also would like to know about changing the line numbers so that it doesn't take so much space. That would be awesome.

according to :he 'nu', look at :he 'nuw'
'numberwidth' 'nuw' number (Vim default: 4 Vi default: 8)
Minimal number of columns to use for the line number. Only relevant when the 'number' option is set.
Since one space is always between the number and the text, there is one less character for the number itself.
The value is the minimum width. A bigger width is used when needed to fit the highest line number in the buffer. Thus with the Vim default of 4 there is room for a line number up to 999. When the buffer has 1000 lines five columns will be used.
The minimum value is 1, the maximum value is 10.

Please note that "set numberwidth" only available in VIM 7.
Standard VIM 6.x version doesn't support this.

| Is it possible to set line number 1 from a certain line, say when I 'm in the middle of the file and want to count how many lines the following paragraph hold, so if I set current line as line 1, I'll know intuitively the number of lines.

| "set numberwidth" (available in version 7) sounds like exactly what I want, but does anyone have a suggestion making the "set number" gutter less wide on 6.x? Thanks!

I think it is not possible using "set number", but you can "set sc" (set showcmd). When enabled, the number of characters or lines selected in visual mode will be shown at bottom of the window.
