Hi,

is there currently a way to display line numbers next to each line in the diff shown by gitk, e.g. in some kind of gutter?

If that's currently not possible, how much work would it require to add that feature as an option?

Not currently possible. It can be done though. Is this just for the file view or patch view as well?
The following seems to work reasonably well for just the file view.

Thanks, from my tests it seems to work indeed very well. Although I was initially thinking about the patch view.

A downside of line numbers in the file view could be that they'll be copied to the clipboard, too, if you copy and paste code from there, so they should probably be implemented as an option.
