Weird. What does Vim see in insert mode when you do <C-V><C-Space>? It works fine for me in gvim in Windows, and it was a free key...that's the only reason I chose it. Use what works, I guess. :-)

Yes, this mapping was intended to cycle through on a more permanent basis for my use. You could store the original line numbering in a variable and restore it in a second mapping if you like. Or restore it in a CursorHold/CursorMoved autocmd.
I'm exclusively a GVim user on Windows; the control-Space mapping gave me no trouble.
I always have line numbering on, so I changed the function to simply toggle 'relativenumber' as I didn't need it to cycle through the various options. Actually, I already had a mapping for this, but not one that used the <expr> mechanism to work in operator-pending mode, which was the boon here.
Usually, I don't care for the numbers; when I do, it's easy enough to hit the mapping to change it--I just didn't want to start an operation and then hit escape to change the number format and then come back, a problem Ben has helped quite a bit.
