✨ Configuration to toggle line numbers visibility

[vitalyster]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Line numbers make UI bloated, we have line indicator in status bar

Describe the solution you'd like

Please hide line numbers by default

Describe alternatives you've considered

At least there should be an option to hide

Additional context

[lukepistrol]

We probably won't hide the line numbers by default but having an option to turn them off seems like a good idea 👍

@lukepistrol - I'll take this one on.

[austincondiff]

Should we provide the ability to hide line numbers or hide the entire gutter which includes indications for code folding, code review, etc.? Maybe both (could be too much though)?

[ben-p-commits]

Anecdotal- but I believe people who ditch line numbers are probably good with eschewing folding, review- etc.

[ben-p-commits]

then again...

xcode goes all the way

[ben-p-commits]

@austincondiff, perhaps we add the options as separate enhancements when the respective functionality is implemented?

Hard to say whether the RulerView is going to be the container for those future features like a code ribbon, or if sibling views are needed for them.

[austincondiff]

I like that. If Xcode provides the ability to show/hide each thing individually, we should do the same.

[ben-p-commits]

@austincondiff, So- do we wait for those features to be implemented? 😆

CodeEditApp/CodeEditTextView#124

@austincondiff , @lukepistrol, PR in the pocket.

[austincondiff]

@ben-p-commits No, just making a comment that we should hide just the line numbers here and the others as they get implemented. 😉
