A modest request for the IDE

Hi Team! Great job so far!!! I am using PB4.2b and so far have not had really any issues to speak of.

I have a modest request, if it is possible, for the internal IDE.

On the bottom right of the IDE it shows you which LINE of code in your program you are on.

What thoughts do you have about changing the display to show not only what line you ar eon but the total lines in the program.

so instead of saying:

Line: 1667 Column: 7

it would say (maybe)

Line: 1667 of 5218 Col: 7

Or some other way of designating the total lines thus far in the program? Maybe a seperate box with Total: ???

It is already: "Line: 123 Column: 456 Selection: 789"
If there are too many numbers down there, you cannot get it all with a quick look anymore imho.

What do you need to constantly know the total lines for anyway?
Its not something that changes with every cursor move like the other values do.

i also do not understand what this should be good for. (but wouldn't mind if it was there)
and you can do CTRL+END, and CTRL+L to be back.

Well we could organize selection into another box...

It isn't completely useless... I just like making sure all my code loads and like seeing if I can make it smaller by being mor efficent etc.

I suppose it has no real purpose! Still it would be a nice feature.
