Unfortunately it didn't... :( So sad... Note that I checked to have just one window open (just to make sure one didn't overwrite other's settings), but that didn't do the trick. Is there any xml/plist file to edit? I use textwrangler for work everyday and it's really annoying doing that manually each time for debugging. Also, line numbers tend to be not aligned with actual text lines. After - let's say - 300 lines text happens to be 4 lines above of the line number.

When you close the document and open another document, line number will be gone. To make it persistent, try this: "Preferences / Text Status Display / Show line numbers". Good luck. :D If you use “Text Options…” to display line number, this change will not be persistent. When you close the document and open another document, line number will be gone. To make it persistent, try this:

“Preferences / Text Status Display / Show line numbers”.

Good luck. :D

You can do this by setting "Preferences / Text Files / Strip trailing whitespace". It is a good idea to “trim trailing white-space character”.
