Total Line Count

Show the active file's total line count next to your cursor position in the status bar.

The status bar reads:

Ln 25, Col 66, Total 100

Total is the number of lines in the current file. Ln / Col acts the same as native Editor Selection

Features

• Total line count for the active editor, updated live as you type.
• Cursor position (Ln, Col) shown alongside the total.
• Runs on startup — active as soon as VS Code opens or reloads.
• Enable / disable at any time:
  • Left-click the status bar item to disable it (asks for confirmation first).
  • Command Palette → Total Line Count: Enable / Disable
• Remembers your choice across restarts.

When disabled, the status bar item is hidden completely. It can be re-enabled from the Command Palette or with a custom keyboard shortcut.

Requirements

None. No dependencies or configuration required.

Extension Settings

This extension does not contribute any VS Code settings.

Available Keybindings

• total-line-count.toggle
• total-line-count.enable
• total-line-count.disable

Known Issues

• Col is reported as the character offset + 1 and does not expand tabs by tab size, so with tab-indented files it may differ from VS Code's built-in Col indicator.
