I forgot to mention the history of show-file-line. Years ago, someone suggested showing the *file's* line number in the status area. This suggestion would not be wise even if show-file-line were bug-free. Both show-file-line and goto-global-line are memory hogs. They create strings containing the entire contents of the external file. Leo can live with the expense of goto-global-line because it isn't called often. But calling show-file-line every time the selected line changes would be ruinous. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
