      New here…Hi! I have searched and googled, etc for a tab menu item to turn off line numbering or a keyboard shortcut…the ability to turn off and on quickly is more than just convenient. The only option I see or read about is going into preferences each time, a pain in the butt, not efficient. Why is there not this function in the View drop down with a shortcut? Am I missing something? Please help. Tx

        Yes you are i.e. Hide Line Number Margin in the View menu.

          Hello Bill,

          Install the Customize Toolbar plugin and Hide Line Number Margin will be added to the View menu.

          You can then assign a shortcut to this command via Settings -> Shortcut Mapper.

          Best regards.

            Hide Line Number Margin is not available in the Shortcut Mapper. Sorry.

              You can assign a shortcut to Hide Line Number Margin by installing Python Script or Lua Script and then:

              1. Create a script containing the following line: notepad.runMenuCommand("View", "Hide Line Number Margin").
              2. Create a shortcut to the script.

                FWIW, this one-line Pythonscript will toggle line numbers on/off with each run, in case you don’t want to use the Customize Toolbar plugin:

                editor.setMarginWidthN(0, 0 if editor.getMarginWidthN(0) == 26 else 26)
                

                NOTE: For this to work, Display line numbers must be UNCHECKED in Settings (menu) -> Preferences -> Editing .

                  @Yaron Tx, and to all others that took time to respond. I discovered I had to have the line numbers turned on before I installed the plugin for it to work. I’m happy to have that and will try the scripts for a shortcut. @Scott-Sumner I’ll check that out too.
