Cramped viewing in snippets
When I make a snippet and name it anything like file.md
then it doesn’t show line numbers.
If I name the file script.sh
or script.cpp
then I get line numbers. Great.
No matter what, you get a vertical scroll bar viewing only 26 lines at a time. This is terrible.
This question has been asked before related to embedding, which I don’t care about [1].
I’ve started putting my snippets on github because they don’t have a vertical scrollbar on gists.
Here’s a comparison of vertical space on github vs gitlab: https://i.imgur.com/T5rEgVg.png
The above img is a markdown file (113 lines). On github you get to see 59 lines. On gitlab, you’re stuck with 26 lines then must scroll.
I would love to be able to send a snippet to a friend that has a 4k display, and he gets to view 120-150 lines without having to scroll.
