Relative "Go to Line" extension for Visual Studio Code

This extensions adds an improved "Go to Line/Column (Relative)..." command for jumping a specific number of lines up or down.

Alt text

Features

  • Temporarily changes editor line numbers to relative to make jumping to a specific line easier
  • Highlights the destination line and even the destination character
  • Works with the original ctrl+g shortcut, also adds ctrl+shift+g to open the prompt with a prefilled "-" for jumping upwards
  • Also adds a "Select to Line/Column (Relative)..." which select text from your current cursor to a specified line/character
    • Similar behaviour to holding shift and going up/down the specified number of lines.
    • If you want to select whole lines, I recommend pairing with VS Code's built-in "Expand Line Selection" (default is ctrl+l)
