Parameters

default If you specify the default parameter for the set lineNumbers.pad command, the current view will use the value of default.lineNumbers.pad when displaying line numbers in the prefix area.
c If you specify the c parameter for the set lineNumbers.pad command, the current view will use c as the leading padding character for displaying line numbers in the prefix area. If you specify the c parameter for the set default.lineNumbers.pad command, all document views that have the lineNumbers.pad set to default will use c as the padding character for displaying line numbers in the prefix area.

If the c parameter is not a single character, it is interpreted as a decimal, hexadecimal, or octal integer, in one of the formats exemplified here: 110, 0x6E, 0X6e, #6e, 0156. The pad character will be the character represented by the value specified.
install If you specify the install parameter for the set default.lineNumbers.pad command, all views with lineNumbers.pad set to default will use the value of install.lineNumbers.pad to determine the leading padding character for displaying line numbers in the prefix area.
