Showing lines sure goto line yes should be there but do I find it
important? Not really, because you rarely remember a line number in a
big file, you either make bookmarks or move with the search ability.
And on the screen you are on movement oven forward-block / forward-line
(word / sexp-forward) should not be almost everytime better.
If you have a descent big file you have 4 digit line numbers easy, so
you have to press a key for goto-line + 4 digits + enter 6 keys.
show me a position you can't reach with 6 keys with forward/backward
block/line. Also it's not only the amount if you want 6 blocks forward
you can press the same key 6 times which is easier then typing in a
number with 6 different numbers, and if you want to go to a specific
point in a line search is another good alternative 1 button for search
start 2. 2 3 4 letters 3 enter.
So moving through typing in line numbers for cursor movement seems to me
very seldom a good way to operate.
