Doesn't look like it, but with Meta-C (the Meta key is usually ALT, but you can change this, or your keyboard settings may do so), you get a constant cursor position display, which will tell you what line you are currently on. If you don't want a constant display, CTRL-C will tell you the cursor position at the time you ran ^C, but will not 'track' the cursor if it moves. Try ^G to see all the options available via ^+?? and Meta+?? . Not that I'm hungry for credit or anything, but I notice that often enough to be noticeable, my messages apparently get missed, seemingly especially when they're first, and I wonder if something weird is happening. So I suppose what I'd like to know is, did the above message (June 21, 16:29) appear as a response to the thread, somewhere else, or not at all? Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Line numbers in nano
I found nano a little hard to deal with, I used pico before and I didn't like it at all because of the commands interface. I could find all the features it provides well documented at man pages and Internet but nothing about line numbering. You probably need line numbers for programming or for log view (or not), for that, vim was my choice, if you wish to try it, the man pages are very good. I was told emacs do it also.

Re: [gentoo-user] Line numbers in nano
Yeah, I have become lazy and started using nano. I used to use vim so maybe I should get back to it. I cant say I am such a fan of emacs :( dont know why, quite honestly i despise it. heheh.
