0-Indexed Lines/Columns

#1

Bumping an old thread thats incorrectly categorized. A quick toggle to index the columns/lines from 0 (instead of 1) would be nice. If there is already a plugin covering this, please link me!

ST’s default “Line: … Column: …” can be disabled via "show_line_column": "disabled",

and replaced by plugin.

Example:

Create a Packages/User/my_line_count.py with the following content:

import sublime
import sublime_plugin


class LineCountListener(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
    """
    This class describes a line count listener.

    Note: Set ``"show_line_column", "disabled"``
          to disable ST's built-in line/column status
    """

    def on_new(self, view: sublime.View):
        """
        Update status for new view.
        """
        self._update(view)

    def on_load(self, view: sublime.View):
        """
        Update status after loading file.
        """
        self._update(view)

    def on_selection_modified(self, view: sublime.View):
        """
        Update status when caret moves.
        """
        self._update(view)

    def _update(self, view: sublime.View):
        sel = view.sel()
        if not sel:
            view.set_status("zzz_lines", "")
            return

        pt = sel[0].begin()
        row, col = view.rowcol(pt)
        view.set_status("zzz_lines", f"L: {(row)}, C: {col}")
