[feature request] automatic line numbering

[Foadsf]

Hi @robEllenberg you addon was mentioned here on Reddit. I was wondering if you could add automatic line numbering?

I'm open to the idea, though I'm not sure how to add "active" features like line numbering in Notepad++. The UDL plugin was really just for syntax highlighting (and even then is not perfect because of the syntax quirks of the specification itself).

Are you sure automatic line numbering is a necessity for your application? I've found N### style line numbers to be an anti-feature in G-code. Any modern editor (and most modern CNC controls) can show line numbers, and it's often dangerous to jump to an arbitrary numbered line with a subroutine call.

Best, Rob

Dear @robEllenberg thanks for the reply. I have actually realized that my machine accept G-code even without the line numbers. But considering that finally I want to to share this G-code with a producer I want to be sure I have followed all the proper conventions.
