[GNU Emacs]:
(describe-key "^X=")
what-cursor-position:
Print info on cursor position (on screen and within buffer).

(describe-key ^Xl")
count-lines-page:
Report number of lines on current page, and how many are before or after point.

(describe-key "ESC=")
count-lines-region:
Print number of lines in the region.

etc.
But you have to bind what-line to a key if you don't want to say ESC x
what-line.
I have earlier posted why GNU Emacs users rarely care about line
numbers. Hint: do ESC x compile, or ESC x grep; or ESC x apropos tags.
