Is there any way to make it so that the gutter is always present? There's a bit of a noticeable jump to include it when I save a file, it's sort of annoying me.

Is there any way to make it so that the gutter is always present? There's a bit of a noticeable jump to include it when I save a file, it's sort of annoying me. I tried let g:gitgutter_enabled = 1 but that does seem to work. I'll have a poke through the source.

probably not, the way vim works if there are no more signs attached to a document the gutter goes away. This isn't plugin related, it's just a manner of how vim works. Although I suppose you can work around this by displaying a fake sign (color match gutter background?), but that has its downsides (depending on colorscheme, the sign can show up. and vim doesn't support whitespace characters for signs, at least not from what I can see).

  Yeah, I just noticed that now. It seems to just grep through the diff itself, so adding a fake sign would be a pain and, as you mentioned, probably not display correctly anyway. I'm sure my eyes will adjust :).

    Why can't you change it if you want to?

I wish it could be made to stand on the right side of a vim buffer. This way it would still be present on demand but would not shift the whole buffer one column to the right.
