This extension adds the ability to move the cursor a specified number of lines up or down by either typing a positive or negative number.
It adds, by default, a binding to Ctrl+Cmd+G
on Mac OS and Ctrl+Alt+G
on Windows and Linux, so it is similar to the "go to line" command that uses Ctrl+G
.
Open the command palette and find the command "Go to Line from here" and type in the number of lines you wish the cursor to skip.
If you are on a document with 100 lines, and the cursor is at line 1, typing in "10" and confirming will leave the cursor at line 11 (10+1). Doing the opposite, by typing -10, will return the cursor to the original line.
Typing negative numbers that lead to an non-existing position in the file (a negative line) will leave the cursor at the first line. Likewise, a number that is greater than that of the total line count will leave the cursor at the last line of the file.
