Description
Relevant sub-area for this feature?
Core/Environment/Rendering
Feature description
Minor feature. I feel it would be nice for users to have the option of hiding line numbers if they would like to, as is common in other coding sketchbooks. This could be set in preferences, with default line numbers showing.
Benefits
Some users may want a more distraction-free, minimalist environment.
Possible challenges
None, this should be a simple feature to implement
