Show line numbers in Visual SlickEdit

Question

Does anyone know how I can show line numbers in Visual SlickEdit? I can do this on a per file basis by doing View->Line Numbers, but I'd like to just set it as a mode in the editor and not have to do it for every file I open.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Do you want it for a specific file type?

You can do it for each language or all-languages

Tools->Options->Languages

Here you would select either 'All Languages' or a specific language (I just tried the 'all')

then you would select 'Line Numbers' on the right pane.

Answer 2

I've got SlickEdit 2007 (12.x), and AFAIK there's not a way to toggle line numbers for all files at once, but if you're only interested in a few different file types, you can turn on display of line numbers on a per-extension basis in the Display Line Numbers checkbox of the General tab of Tools > Options > File Extension Setup for each extension.
