## Description[#](https://libtmux.org/en/tmux/latest/catalog/options/copy-mode-line-numbers/#description)

Show line numbers in copy mode. `off` hides line numbers, `default` shows line numbers matching the copy mode position indicator and `goto-line`, `absolute` shows absolute line numbers, `relative` shows line numbers relative to the cursor, and `hybrid` shows the current line number as absolute and other line numbers as relative. With `off` or `default`, the position indicator and `goto-line` use the same numbering; with `absolute`, `relative` and `hybrid`, they use absolute line numbers.
