In order to easily find the issue when debugging errors on command line scripts, can we have line numbers in the editor? Currently there are just the cursor coordinates and this means multiple random clicks on the screen to figure out where the line number is. It would be so much easier just to scroll down to a visible line number.

I appreciate that compiling from the editor takes you to the line number automatically but that does not help with command line scripts that just return an error with a line number.

Many thanks!

Line numbers can be turned on via Extra->Options->Editor->Show line numbers in gutter.

You can also use Ctrl+G.

Greetings,

Thanks Martijn, I really looked hard for this option and somehow missed it! Apologies!
