Display line number in status bar

I would like the option to display line number in the toolbar / status line. Next to backlings, words and characters.

Use case or problem

I use a git-hook to run markdown linting to keep my notes well formed (and portable).
This will output issues based on filename and linenumber like this:

filename.md:12:44 MD009/no-trailing-spaces Trailing spaces [Expected: 0 or 2; Actual: 1]

Today I need to either guess or go into the settings and enable show line numbers. To have them enabled all the team is distracting to me.

Proposed solution

To be able to quickly find the issue a visible current line number in the toolbar/status line would be awsome!

Indicating line numbers on the status bar can minimize the editing friction due to overloaded elements in UI.

I recommend to support a zen mode which minimize all unnecessary elements to help user more focus on the composition.
