Show line numbers for bookmarks in the Side Bar

[cateyes99]

Currently in the Side Bar's Bookmarks Explorer, no line numbers are shown for bookmarks. It'd be more informative & convenient to have the line number shown in front of each bookmark.

Hi @cateyes99 ,

The Side Bar shows both, line and column number, for each bookmarked line.

It is displayed as a detail on each line, following the line content/bookmark label.

Icon + LineContent/BookmarkLabel + (Ln X, Col Y)

Hope this helps

ic. It turned out that if the length of the line bookmarked is very long then the line & column info has not room to display which is not good. For instance, in your screenshot, the bookmark in the CHANGELOG.md file doesn't show the line & column info. 🙄

i would say it's a bug then. @alefragnani

That’s how VS Code works. The same happens on other native views, like the Search view, when you search for text. It displays the file path as a detail, but if the file name is long and the panel is not wide enough to, you won’t see the file path.

I understand it’s not that good, but if you think it is a bug, I would say it’s a VS Code bug. You should report that on VS Code repo

Hope this helps

hmm. if it's a limitation from VSCode, what about placing the line number info at the beginning instead of at the end then?

Because I think the line contents/bookmark label are more important than its position.

But, there is however, issue #145, which requests "customizable line". So, it would allows each developer decides the info it finds more importantly be seen.

Feel free to upvote/comment if you think it would fit your scenario.

Hope this helps

If there are many bookmarks in a file, I'd say the line info is helpful & very convenient (the column info isn't though). But i vote for #145 then.
