The below Elisp is how I do it, this makes it available
interactively everywhere (with M-x lines RET) but also for
default setups for specific modes, see the hook below for
an example.

(defun toggle-local-var (var)
  (set-variable var (not (symbol-value var)) t) )

(defun toggle-line-mode ()
  (interactive)
  (toggle-local-var 'line-number-mode) )
(defalias 'lines #'toggle-line-mode)

(defun conf-space-mode-hook-f ()
  (lines) )
(add-hook 'conf-space-mode-hook #'conf-space-mode-hook-f)
