Line numbers in viewer

Post by *bakocs »

Sometime I would like to see the line numbers on the left side.
Is it possible to see line numbers on the left margin?

I would be happy if Lister could just show the number of the line where the cursor is positioned in the title bar.

You may be surprised but Lister does not know the current line number! It loads a small block of data around the current position and gets the line breaks from there dynamically. This way it can view huge files (e.g. log files) almost instantaneously, even a few Terabytes. If you try the same in "compare by content", which loads all line starts when opening, it will take a lot of time to load.

You can use a Lister plugin for text like CudaLister to get line numbers.

Thank You! That's what I'm looking for!
