How to highlight line numbers on number keys pressing in vim?

For example in relativenumber mode when pressing 1, line numbers 1 above 1 below and line 11 need to highlighted:

11 <
10
9
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1 <
0 simple text
1 <
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

Or any other lines that contains 1.

Thanks!

The number column is entirely controlled by the respective 'number' and 'relativenumber' setttings. You can influence the number alignment and highlighting, but what you want is not possible. With a plugin, you'd have to completely (and slowly) emulate the number column. It would be better to implement this directly in Vim's C source code. However, unless you provide a strong motivation for the usefulness of that feature (and to be honest I don't see that here at all), it's unlikely to be accepted into the mainline code.
