--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- a) Well, it's available in Microsoft Word (right-click status bar, check Line Number and Column), which might suggest it's something appropriate to a word processor. When in a table, Word simply treats each row of the table as a new line, so if the line number before the table is 15, and you have a table with 3 rows, those are displayed as lines 16, 17, and 18 on the status bar. Each column is treated as separate when it comes to column count, so for example the first 3 characters in each cell of the table display as column 1, 2, 3. b) This feature is available in Microsoft Word, Notepad++, EditPad, VS Code, Visual Studio, Vi/Vim, Windows Notepad, and xed... off the top of my head. In fact, it's in virtually everything except Libreoffice Writer. c) If I'm comparing two fixed-width text documents for alignment I might want to quickly check the line/column of a particular character. If I'm trying to limit the line width I might want to know the column of a given character to see how close I am to the width limit I want. If I'm doing ASCII art it might be useful. I'm sure there are plenty of other use-cases. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
