Vim: jump to line in command-mode doesn't work.

Created on 12 Jun 2017 · 6Comments · Source: VSCodeVim/Vim

Environment:

VSCode Version: 1.13.0
VsCodeVim Version: 0.8.5
OS: Microsoft Windows 7

What happened:

When using the _command-mode_ entry to jump to a line, the editor does nothing.

What did you expect to happen:

Normal vim will jump to the given line number when you enter that as the only entry in a command-mode command.

How to reproduce it:

Open any file with 6+ lines.
Press gg to jump to beginning of the file.
Press :5<CR>.

I'd expect the editor to jump to line 5 after hitting enter.
Note that doing 5gg and 5G both work as expected.
Naturally this should work for any valid line number, I just used an concrete example for clarity.
Also note that I have "vim.enableNeovim": false, but i wouldn't expect that to be necessary for this feature.

If you care about this feature, why not just enable neovim?

This is a regression I think? I use this all the time and not having it work without neovim is not a good idea... I think it should definitely be supported by us...
