python - Line numbers for every cell in VSCode Jupyter Notebook Cells

Question

In the normal Jupyter notebooks, we can add line numbers by pressing the L key after selecting the cell. All the subsequent cells for that notebook will have line numbers automatically.

But this is missing in VSCode. Every time a new cell is created, we need to select the cell and press the L key to enable the numbering for that cell which is very tiresome.

Is there a way to automatically enable line numbering for all the cells in the VSCode Jupyter notebook instead of manually pressing the L key for each and every cell?

Thank you.

Answer 1

In VS Code Jupyter Notebook, you can toggle line numbers by pressing L. The trick is to select the current cell first. You could select your cell by clicking in the blank area on the left margin of the cell (when it's selected the bar on the left turns blue). Now if you press L on your keyboard, you would be able to turn the line numbers on/off.
