seems like nice feature, anyway could you format the
line number into separated column?

currently without lines:


â /* Receive them all */ â
â for (i = 0; i < ctx->num_packets; i++) { â
0.02 â mov (%r14),%eax â
0.02 â xor %r13d,%r13d â
â char data[DATASIZE]; â
â int ret, done = 0; â
â â
â again: â
â ret = read(ctx->in_fds[0], data + done, DATASIZE - done); â
â mov $0x64,%r12d â
â â
â /* Wait for start... */ â
â ready(ctx->ready_out, ctx->wakefd); â


with 'k' pressed:


â 126 /* Receive them all */ â
â 127 for (i = 0; i < ctx->num_packets; i++) { â
0.02 â mov (%r14),%eax â
0.02 â xor %r13d,%r13d â
â 127 char data[DATASIZE]; â
â 128 int ret, done = 0; â
â â
â 130 again: â
â 131 ret = read(ctx->in_fds[0], data + done, DATASIZE - done); â
â mov $0x64,%r12d â
â â
â 123 /* Wait for start... */ â
â 124 ready(ctx->ready_out, ctx->wakefd); â


putting line numbers close to the left line
and making the source line not to be shifted
right by line number width would be great

extra tab --------^^^^^^ making the text misaligned in the help box
