Question

How can I let TextMate show line numbers when I'm coding C++?

Answer 1

Press Cmd-Opt-L or select View » Gutter » Line Numbers.

I don't think it's possible to automatically enable display of line numbers dependent on your current language. But with the default keyboard shortcut this command is easy enough to reach.

Answer 2

View->Gutter->Line Numbers

Enjoy! Its a fun editor.

Answer 3

For users stumbling on this question who want to actually insert numbers in front of each line, the following will help:

1. Bundles > Text > Add Line Numbers to Selection
   • Applies "cat -n|expand -8" to selection/entire document
2. Text -> Filter through command... allows more flexibility. e.g.:
   • perl -pe 's/^/sprintf("%2d ",$.)/e'
