Boost your navigation in VS Code with relative and absolute line jumps, inspired by Vim/NeoVim motions.
No more endless scrolling — move exactly where you need, faster.
Features
Relative navigation (like Vim/NeoVim):
+ or j → move down
- or k → move up
Absolute navigation: jump to a specific line by just entering its number (e.g., 42).
Input validation:
Only one operator is allowed (+, -, j, k).
Prevents going outside the document range.
Helpful error messages when inputs are invalid or out of bounds.
Usage
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
Run LineShift: Jump or use the default shortcut: Alt+G
Enter your target:
Absolute line → type the number
Example: 42 → jumps to line 42
Relative jump → use +, -, j, or k with a number
+5 → move 5 lines down
-2 → move 2 lines up
j4 → move 4 lines down
k7 → move 7 lines up
Why LineShift?
If you love the speed of Vim/NeoVim motions but don’t want to leave VS Code, LineShift brings that power right into your editor. Perfect for developers who want faster, more precise navigation without extra clutter.
