Using Go to Line

When you choose “Go to Line” in the Find menu, or press Command-L, CotEditor displays the Go To dialog box to give you quick access to the line(s) you want to see.

In the dialog box, enter the line number, and click “Go”.

• If you type in “3”:

  => The line 3 (the third line from the top) will be selected.

• If you type in “3:2”:

  => What this indicates is “starting from line 3, select 2 lines.” Thus, the line 3 and 4 will be selected.

• If you type in “3:-1”:

  => What this indicates is “starting from line 3, select the rest lines except the last 1 line.” Thus, if the document has 10 lines, the lines from the line 3 to 9 will be selected.
