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.
