Hello!

Freddy, can you place the total number of lines to appear at the bottom of the IDE?

Every time I want to know it, I have to scroll down to the bottom of the source code...

Thanks!

1.) Press a key (e.g. <Space>)
2.) Press <Ctrl> + <End>
3.) Take a look at the linenumber
4.) Press <Ctrl> + <Z> (to undo Step 1 and jump to your last position)

That's all.

Greetings ... Peter

It sure would be convenient to have the total number lines on that status bar.

Also a single-click feature that could process all the sources tied and give total number of lines without having to compile every-time.

I'm curious: what use do you have for that information ?

I've never felt the need to know how many lines long is something I'm working on... the most close to that it's the size in bytes of the whole project if I need to transfer / deploy it in some way.

Isn't CTRL+END followed by CTRL+L enough ?

Not sure why one would need a line count (perhaps a Tutor's requirement?) but since the PB IDE is using Scintilla, it should be possible to add a command that invokes the SCI_GETLINECOUNT function as a short cut (Tool).
