Sometimes when I am reading a very large article or tutorial in a web browser I wish I could get some indicator of how far I am in the document. I'd like to be able to press a hot key that tells me what line I am on and how many lines there are in the document and / or what percent complete I am with the document.

Editors usually provide this information via the status bar.

This could be helpful when coming back to a document later and trying to return to where you left off by pressing page down repeatedly.
Or perhaps later a go to line feature could be added.

I could just copy the whole page and paste it into an editor, but this results in me losing the quick navigation keys to jump between headers and the ability to follow links.
