Vim Relative Line Jumping

The go-to-line action now supports relative line jumping, allowing you to jump to lines relative to your current cursor position using Vim/Neovim syntax.

Supported Syntax

When using go-to-line with relative mode enabled:

• 5 → jump 5 lines down
• -3 or b3 → jump 3 lines up
• +10 or f10 → jump 10 lines forward
• 0 → stay on current line

Both - and b work for backward jumps, + and f for forward jumps.

Setup

Add a keybinding to your keymap.json:

{
  "context": "VimControl && !menu",
  "bindings": {
    "ctrl-j": ["go_to_line::Toggle", {"relative": true}]
  }
}

How to Use

1. Press your configured keybinding (e.g., Ctrl-J)
2. Type the relative line number (5, -3, b10, etc.)
3. Press Enter to jump

Why This Matters

Vim familiarity: Matches Vim/Neovim’s relative line jump behavior.

Efficient navigation: Jump to nearby lines without calculating absolute line numbers.

Visual mode friendly: Works with relative line numbers display for quick jumps.

Perfect for Vim users who rely on relative line numbers and want fast vertical navigation.
