I regularly encounter paths that have line numbers attached such as,
|
||
|
|
`./spec/features/cases/edit_spec.rb:112`, or `src/fetcher.rs:543`, and want to
|
||
|
|
view or edit the file at the given line. For far too long I've been opening the
|
||
|
|
file in `vim` and then jumping to the relevant line. This week I wrote a shell
|
||
|
|
(`zsh`) function that does this automatically. It is simply called `v` and is
|
||
|
|
used in place of `vim` to edit a file. E.g.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<figure>
|
||
|
|
<img src="/images/2015/vDemo.gif" style="max-width: 490px; max-height: 362px" alt="Animated GIF of v function in action">
|
||
|
|
<figcaption>Demo</figcaption>
|
||
|
|
</figure>
|
||
|

## Source

The source of the function is below. It was written for `zsh` but should be
|
||
|
|
easy to adapt for other shells.
