Open file at given line

[MarcoBorra]

Hello, my proposal is for an improvement. I would like it to be possible to open a file at a specific line. For example, if I type "nvy "filename.c" +500," it would open the file at line 500. It would be very useful for integrating the editor with external tools (e.g., Meld). Thank you.

Have you tried it? Because it will work exactly as you've proposed; nvy will pass arguments that don't match any nvy specific flags (at least I believe that's how it goes) to nvim and apparently leading + in front of argument means it will be invoked as a command (just like : inside the nvim).

So nvy filename.c +500 will open "filename.c" and invoke :500 command, which will jump to the line 500. You can go more creative than that, for example nvy file.txt "+10|normal V" will select line 10 after launch.

I can confirm this already works. Please try again and reopen the issue if something is broken 🙂
