Feature request: Line numbers, auto wrapping

[ConEmu]

Required information! OS version: win8/x64 ConEmu version: 130624 Far version (if you are using Far Manager): - ConEmu would be nice to be able to: 1) show line numbers 2) permit resize with live text-wrapping

PowerCmd has these features and are verry nice.

Thanks.

1) line numbers - in plans, but not soon I think 2) live wrapping is not so easy as you think. PowerCmd, mintty, putty and many others are very simple emulators and they does not allows running many console applications using console API. But ConEmu does. Far Manager, Hiew, and many many others. They deals with visible console area themselves! How may ConEmu wrap lines when console app does not expect that??

I think the only possible solution is to provide a wider terminal content area and provide a horizontal scrollbar. Auto wrapping won't work since many tools format their output according to the number of available columns.

• +1 show line number. it would be helpful to search text in buffer.

+1 for resize with auto-text-wrapping.

I understand it's not an easy issue to solve, but the terminal in OSX (at least in 10.10 Yosemite, not sure about previous versions) does "live resize wrapping" (and more importantly unwrapping) by default. I don't know what kind of heuristics it deploys, if at all, but it seems to be working nicely.

Sure, it's not suited for text-apps which take control of the screen (far manager, text editors, etc), or which format their output for the screen width, but there are many scenarios where that's not the case.

E.g. during a long build process where the lines are not formatted for the screen width, and where resizing the window (during or after the build) could make them much more readable.

Any news about line numbers in Far?

What about Far? Far features are easier to implement in Far itself.
