Natural Line Numbers

Shows Software AG Natural-style line numbers for Natural files (.NSC, .NSN, .NSA, .NSG, .NSS, .NSL, .NSP) based on the file header.

Creada por Erika Morales Hernández.

• Reads * >Natural Source Header NNNNNN to get the starting base (default 0)
• Reads * :LineIncrement X to get the increment (default 10)
• The first code line after * <Natural Source Header is base + increment
• Status bar always shows the current line's Natural number
• Command toggles inline decorations which prefix each line with its Natural number

Commands

• Natural: Toggle Line Decorations (naturalLines.toggleDecorations)

Settings

• naturalLines.decorateOnOpen (boolean, default true)
• naturalLines.zeroPad (number, default 6)
• naturalLines.separator (string, default " | ")

Activation

The extension activates for files identified as natural language, covering the extensions listed above (case-insensitive).

Run (no Node required)

• Press F5 (Run Extension) to start a new Extension Development Host and open an .NSC file to see the status bar and decorations.

Notes

• Decoration numbers are rendered in the editor content area (before the line text), not the line number gutter.
• If the header cannot be found, numbering starts at 0 and increments by 10 from the first line.
