I do not think something like this will be added but I have a suggestion I would like to share.
Having trouble explaining because I do not know the best way this can be achieved coding wise.

The idea is having the ability to be able to set a constant amount of line numbers, so that no matter how many lines get deleted from document, it always contains that set amount of line numbers.
(I would say an infinite amount of line numbers but this probably would cause some issues because would be able to scroll down forever, which is not desired either)

Would probably need to be added as a setting to allow user to choose the set amount of line numbers desired. I guess this would be best to also add this as maybe a toggle tool / keybinding to be able to turn this line number setting on/off. When toggled off would just adjust the line amount to the last line number than contains data in current document.
(A toolbar field to adjust number easily if needed could also be helpful but this will definitely not be added)

The overall purpose is to not have to keep hitting Enter key over and over to add more lines in order to add more data to a document. This also comes in handy if pasting or dragging and dropping single lines of data into document.
Can click with mouse, navigate with arrows keys, paste, drag & drop, add text anywhere, etc. freely.

Again might not be something many users desire, not sure, but I feel this could be useful if anyone can come up with a good way to implement something like this.

Thank You
