i think that optional line numbers for view source would be cool and useful. if we used <ol><li> w/ the <li> styled to invisible by default, it would just work...

very handy indeed

Line numbers on each line would be annoying IMHO. I think it would be better to make a status bar with the row, col listing and when the user clicked in the box, it would tell the cursor's row/col. See bug 60436 for a suggestion I made for composer. It would be nice if the same thing was in the view source. I think that numbers on every line would make me go insane though.

status lines don't make sense in a read only view where you have no caret. again the default for this would be line numbers off, you'd have to alter userchrome.css to style it on.

I guess as long as line numbers are an option then its fine. Why can't View Source have a caret added? Maybe I should file it in a seperate bug or add view source to the other bug.

->bill?
