Seems like the ruler might be related but not quite what you are looking for: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/mac/source-editor?view=vsmac-2022#ruler – cr1pto Sep 01 '22 at 06:23

Visual Studio for Mac 17.4 preview 2 now has the line number, column number, and line ending information at the bottom right hand corner of the text editor.

Your photo indicates you are using Visual Studio, not Visual Studio Code.
VSC is more text editor oriented while VS is more IDE based.
VS only supports showing the line and column number of the cursor location in the Windows version of VS2022 at this time.
The column numbers are a feature of vscode in the 1.70.2 universal version I used.
