Question

How can I permanently enable line numbers in IntelliJ IDEA?

Answer 1

In IntelliJ 14 it has moved again somewhat down the menu.

Now we have it unter Editor -> General -> Appearance

Answer 2

Android Studio

Go to Android Studio => Preferences => Editor => General => Appearance => set Checked "Show line numbers"

Answer 3

1st way: Go to View => Active Editor => show line numbers

2nd way Go to Android Studio => Preferences => Editor=> Appearance => set Checked "Show Line Numbers"

Answer 4

I just hit this with IdeaVim plugin installed, where even if I set Show Line Numbers, it continued to revert to hiding them.

The (forehead-slapping-worthy) solution was:

:set nu

Answer 5

For InteliJ IDEA 11.0 and above
Goto File --> Settings in the Settings window Editor --> Appearance
and tick Show line numbers check box.

Answer 6

NOT a solution, rather a TEMPORARY solution which only works only for the current editor and current session:

Simply right click on the place where the line-numbers should be, and there you'll see a small menu.

then, mark the "Show Line Numbers" option.

Please note that this only works on a per-file basis, however. Enjoy.
