sublimetext2-GotoRowCol

Places the cursor at the specified row and column

Usage

• otherwise, use the window command ctrl + shift + p
• and type GotoRowCol
• press ENTER
• an input box will appear at the bottom of the sublime text window with two initial values populated 1 1.
• The first value represents the row, the second value represents the column. they are 1 based
• enter your desired coordinates (e.g. 26 32 for row 26 col 32)
• you can also enter a row by itself without the column. this will be interpreted as "go to row n col 1"
• example 26 results in (row 26, col 1)
• press ENTER

Settings

create file Packages/GotoRowCol/GotoRowCol.sublime-settings with the following settings

• gtrc_prompt_default (default: "1 1") - Controls the default prompt text

Behavior

once you've entered coordinates, the cursor will be placed at the requestd position and the viewport will scrow the area into viewable range

Gotchas

• a row value entered that is greater than the number of rows in the view will scroll the cursor to the last line
• a col value entered that is greater than the length of text in the row will place the cursor at the last position of that line
• a row or a col value entered that is less than one will cause an exception and the cursor will remain where it is

• notes
• initial creation. created in response to this StackOverflow qestion

Rev 01

• developer bstidham (Bill Stidham)
• date 01/24/2014
• notes #1
• Parenthesized print for compatibility:
  • print without parens is only supported in sublime text 2 (python 2). sublime text 3 (python 3) requires that print be parenthesized.
• Added file Default.sublime-keymap
  • replaces ctrl + g "goto row" functionality with GotoRowCol functionality

Rev 02

• developer bstidham (Bill Stidham)
• date 01/28/2014
• notes in response to #2
• added file GotoRowCol.sublime.settings
  • added setting to GotoRowCol.sublime.settings: "gtrc_prompt_default": "1 1"
  • if this setting is not found, a default value of "1 1" is hard coded
• modified GotoRowCol.py PromptGotoRowColCommand.gotoRowCol() to check the number of integers supplied
  • if 1 then it uses the value as the row number and navigates to the first column
  • if 2 then it goes to row col accordingly
• commented out the ctrl + g hotkey in Default.sublime-keymap
  • will add instructions to the README for enabling this (by simply uncommenting it)
