Is it possible to add to the start-from-line feature so that when you key in your starting line (and click preview or ? ) it can be shown in the visualizer where it is? Sometimes, when doing pocket or profile cuts I like to run the cut again but only in certain areas. It is a lot of guessing on big jobs when I can’t rerun the whole file

@Swinly Lonnie: While you wait for this feature in gSender, you can open the gcode file in ncviewer and you can see a visualization of the file, with the line numbers beside it. It may be worth a try.
Find it a ncviewer.com

Anything is possible - but in this case it would come with a bit of overhead.
Start from line works by virtualizing the file up to the requested start line so we know modals + position. Which means if we wanted to do that, we’d need to virtualize the file any time you changed the line/previewed. Which is fine but also takes time - especially given that it might be a very large file and someone wants to start very deep into it.
I think any changes we’d make in this behaviour would be closer to what Grant mentioned - being able to mouseover the line and get a line number. It’s ultimately not super high priority at the moment.
