-Subject: [PATCH] bindings: allow toggling line numbers (when enabled) also in
- tiny version
-
-As a special case, and because it doesn't need any feedback on the
-status bar nor other calls, add a special function and key binding
-to allow the user to flip the LINE_NUMBERS flag also in a tiny nano.
-
-This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61441.
-Reported-by: Hannu Nyman <hannu.nyman@iki.fi>
