Hi Nick,
So I may provide further details on this enhancement request, please clarify for me what the team is looking for with the "item # display". Perhaps a few screenshots may be helpful.
Currently the item number displays the row number of a single item selected, though not the number of items selected. Please note, this feature currently does not display when selecting multiple items at once, regardless of QMatch. See screenshots below :
With QMatch, the item number is still displayed as before :


Without QMatch :


As seen in the first screenshot above, QMatch currently shows the total number of items selected ( within v9.3+ ).
