goto-line-preview

Preview line when executing goto-line command.

Normally goto-line will just ask for input of the line number then once you hit RET; it will just go to that line of code. This package makes this better by navigating the line while you are inputting in minibuffer.

P.S. Inspired by Visual Studio Code goto line preset behavior.

🔧 Usage

Call it from minibuffer directly,

M-x goto-line-preview

Or you can bind it globally to replace goto-line:

(global-set-key [remap goto-line] 'goto-line-preview)

Change hightlight color or duration

;; Highlight 1.5 seconds when change preview line
(setq goto-line-preview-hl-duration 1.5)

;; Change highlight background color to white
(set-face-background 'goto-line-preview-hl "white")

If you want to close highlight, set goto-line-preview-hl-duration to 0 or nil.
