[pycharm] How to make PyCharm always show line numbers

I cannot seem to be able to find the setting to enable line numbers for all files, but I have to always right click and enable this on per file basis.

There must be a global setting for this, right?

This question is related to pycharm jetbrains-ide

The answer is


For version 2.6 and up, the dialog is in the "Preferences" dialog, access using Cmd ',':

PyCharm (far left menu) -> Preferences... -> Editor (bottom left section) -> Appearance -> Show line numbers checkbox


For version 3.0 (Community Edition):

File -> Settings -> Editor (under IDE Settings) -> Appearance -> check 'Show line numbers'


Using Search bar

  1. Press 2 times Shift
  2. Paste /editor /appearance/ and then
  3. Click on Show line numbers toggle button
