Hi, I have a feature request for a copy mode command, "goto". This would accept a line number and optionally [,column]. Similar to top-line, middle-line, and bottom-line. While those are more like area codes, this would be an address to take the cursor to anywhere. My original idea was just to operate within the pane. But, I think to minimize errors and maximize usefulness, this is what I came up with....
I'll provide a rolling example for clarity. Let's say our pane is 4x8, small for example sake. # is the cursor. It looks better in markdown, or fixed with. A positive number places the cursor on a line starting from the bottom left corner. ``` | [0/9]| | | | # | | | goto 2,3 ``` A +number greater than lines on display would place the cursor on the top line and move the pane back in history to accommodate. ``` |# [2/9]| | | | | | | goto 6 ``` +1 refers to the last line on display. An out of bounds column number moves the cursor to the end of the line. ``` | [2/9]| | | | | | #| goto 1,12 ``` Line 0 refers to the latest line in history. A negative column number move the cursor relative to where it was. ``` | [0/9]| | | | | | # | goto 0,-3 ``` A negative line number refers to the absolute history line. Maybe add some padding for context. ``` | [5/9]| | # | | | | | goto -8,2 ``` It might also be useful to add a +line,column addendum to the position indicator. Following the example, this would be @ [5/9]+3,2 What do you guys think? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tmux-users" group.
