Here's something to make it easier:

if exists('+relativenumber')
let g:loaded_RltvNmbrPlugin='skip'
nnoremap <expr> <C-Space> CycleLNum()
xnoremap <expr> <C-Space> CycleLNum()
onoremap <expr> <C-Space> CycleLNum()

" function to cycle between normal, relative, and no line numbering
func! CycleLNum()
if &l:rnu
setlocal nu
elseif &l:nu
setlocal nonu
else
setlocal rnu
endif
" sometimes (like in op-pending mode) the redraw doesn't happen
" automatically
redraw
" do nothing, even in op-pending mode
return ""
endfunc
endif

This is really fun because you can cycle line numbers, relative line
numbers, and no line numbers even in op-pending mode. I sometimes do
this:

d
(Whoops, no line numbers! How many lines do I need?)
<C-Space>
