Summary

  • add the editor.gotoLine.autoReveal setting (window scope, default on) so users can disable live reveal while typing in Go to Line/Column
  • persist the picker’s auto-reveal toggle in application storage whenever no explicit config is set
  • add an eye-icon quick input button to flip auto reveal on demand while keeping the target-line decoration active

Testing

  • npm run compile
  • ./scripts/code.sh

Thanks for contributing! We should attach this to an open issue (or create one if it doesn't exist) so we can understand how many people want this and also we use issues to track testing before a release.

My main Ctrl+G use case is when I already see a line number and just want the cursor to jump there. Right now the experience is rough: if I type 1348, the view snaps to line 1, then 13, then 134, and finally 1348. The editor keeps scrolling away from my current context, so I lose track of where I was. I’d rather keep the highlight/decoration visible while I type but only actually scroll once I confirm the line.

Here’s the paragraph with the Marketplace link included:

I previously tried using the official Vim extension for VS Code (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscodevim.vim), but ran into a few issues:

  1. Vim often freezes or lags for me.
  2. Copy/paste becomes a real hassle because of the register model.
  3. GitHub Copilot suggestions can’t be accepted with Tab when I’m in Vim mode, which really hurts the workflow.
