[Qt-creator] Copy code with line numbers?

I thought about that, but it would be more useful to the recipient if they could copy/paste
snippets out of the code.

That might be closer, but the downside is the explanation of the code in my email
and the code itself aren't near each other.

This isn't a big issue, just a curiosity on my part. It arose by my manager asking if we
were sure a certain chunk of code does what we thought it does, so I was pulling
that chunk out of the project, but then providing a little context of what some of the
variables were, where this code is called, etc. since it was just a code snippet, and I
was thinking how much more helpful it would have been if there were line numbers
automatically included.
