(Feature request) Line and Col ticker in the status bar

[kjczarne]

Hi, first of all thanks for making this amazing tool!

I was wondering why the Line/Column ticker (Editor Selection) that normally appears in VSCode status bar isn't appearing in the Notebooks. I used this extensively in Jupyter Lab before I switched to VSCode Jupyter and it's super-useful to have when working with F# code. Could that be added to display line and column where the cursor is currently at within a given cell or is it not currently possible?

Thanks for the feedback @kjczarne. Line numbers aren't yet supported in VS Code notebooks, and this is being tracked as microsoft/vscode#106054. Out of curiosity would you expect the line number displayed to be relative to the current cell or the entire notebook?

Great to hear that this is under consideration! From my point of view the most useful would be displaying this sort of information on a per-cell basis. When F# kernel fails to run some statement it prints an error message that points to the line and column that caused a problem and in Jupyter Lab it's then fairly easy to navigate to said statement. But of course perspectives on the issue might differ. :)

Thanks for your feedback. This issue is addressed with new native support for editing notebooks starting with v1.59 of VS Code.
