: The other thing is how do I list the current line number
: as I edit a file.
Try C-x l
'Page has NNN lines (YYY + ZZZ)'
The display seems to indicate YYY lines before the cursor, ZZZ after.
Therefore, current position is YYY + 1...
I used C-x = in another life on Multics, but that displays some stuff
about the current character and your position relative to total chars
in xemacs.

"C-u 1 M-x line-number-mode" will display the current line number in the
modeline.
Hope this helps,

There is a setnu-mode.el package that will do exactly what you want. It comes
with the 19.11 distribution, but if for some reason you don't have it you can
email me and I'll send it to you. Try:
M-x load-library RET setnu-mode RET M-x setnu-mode RET
Cheers,
Peter

It's not exactly what you ask for, but if you set the line-number-mode variable,
the current line number is shown in the mode line. It's updated automatically when
you move the cursor.

Hi
I am using Gnu XEmacs 19.11 Lucid. In vi editor I can use option
" : set nu " to list a number for each line of a file being edited. How do I do the
same thing here. The other thing is how do I list the current line number
as I edit a file.
Thanks

1. Column Numbers (Not Line Numbers)
Has anyone created a minor mode (or some other function) that shows
column numbers while typing keys? If not, can someone tell me if
there is some hook or other easy way to modify the mode line after
every keystroke that moves the point (including all self-insert-command
keys)?
At times, we enter data with Emacs. Since our stats packages read the
data with a fixed format, column numbers are very important. The
values for item X, say, must always go into the same column on each
line. Typing `C-x =' every few seconds gets old very quick.
I don't really care about what line I'm on; that's a nonissue for us.
This being the case, column numbers should take considerably less
effort than determining the line number. That is, efficiency should
not play as large a role. The length of a file, it seems, depends
more often on the number of lines than number of columns in a
particular line.
If someone has done this, great. If not I would even appreciate
hints. Lisp programming doesn't bother me, but I'm not sure how to
efficiently attach a command to most every keystroke.
Thanks in advance.
