Is there a way to show cursor column position WITHOUT the status bar?

I do not need the status bar, but sometimes I need to see the column position, to see if multiple rows' indentation is the same. I asked AI about it, and it told me to use Ctrl+G, but this means I have to press the shortcut each time, unlike the status bar where the column value is passively displayed.

There is a lot of empty space in the main toolbar, or in the tool panel selector. Is there any way to show the column position there, or is Ctrl+G is the only option other than the status bar?
