It would be nice if it was possible to have something similar as the -H option but vertically where the set amount of characters are ignored for selection and horizontal scrolling, a common use case would be bat's line number column

Thank you for Issue.

I don't think it's more convenient than expected, so now it's reluctant to implement.

I think it is better not to display the row number of the bat when using the pager.
That's why I need other reasons to be used.

bat's line number column can also display git status not just line number so it can be useful to display it

it might also make sense to allow using a delimiter regex instead of character count since the column grows if the file has >9999 lines

Good point, but I wonder if it is really that inconvenient that it only becomes invisible
when scrolling to the right without line wrapping.
Additionally, there is the drawback that the fixed-width display area on the left becomes narrower.
If we were to implement this, I believe it would be necessary to have a very easy way to toggle it on and off.

mainly what I would want is that the column is ignored for selection and therefore copying
