A bit off-topic maybe: The poster must not necessarily find column-number-mode insufficient just because he want a column displaying the line numbers. It all depends on what you are doing. For example, sometimes I like to use hl-line-mode to highlight the line I work on, even though you could argue that you could as well look at what line the cursor is on. Personally I seldom use what the poster wants, but who am I to say that I never will need it? I might want to browse source code together with a colleague and using such a line number column would make it easy to say things like "Look at row 21, isn't that crazy stuff?", or "What do you think about the logic for line 48?". My two cents. /Mathias _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
