Features

Inspiration from relative goto and metaGo extensions. At first, I wanted to adjust some behavior, but as I was editing, I ended up start fresh and rewrote the whole thing.

  • Go to relative line and center -- Go to the beginning of the specified line and center. alt+g
  • Select to relative line and center -- Select whole lines startig where the cursor is currently at. Either alt+shift+g or alt+s
  • Ability to swap the cursor of selection region (swapSelectionAnchor). alt+a
  • Line selection (smart) that adds from the firstNonWhite space down and can be expanded. ctrl+l
  • Line selection (smart) that expands up and down with ctrl+l and ctrl+o
  • Go to bracket (smart) that improves upon the built-in from vs-code. The cursor will stay inside the matching brackets. ctrl+shift+\

Both Go to and Select will center after the command

With Select to relative line and center, it will select from the first character of the top line to the last character of the bottom line.

Extension Settings

Currently, there are no extension settings. I should add in the future, e.g., to make it either center or not after the command is run.

Known Issues

No known issues as of now.
