Subject: Feature Request: Relative jump using M-x goto-line
Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2007 23:41:28 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <uk5psfbjj.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

Can M-x goto-line have options to take numbers with +- values, so that
it goes to line +lines from current position or -lines from current
position?

M-x goto-line +40, should go 40 lines forward
M-x goto-line -30  goes 30 lines backward.
M-x goto-line 24   goes to line 24

I'd find this useful when working with files having header and trailer
records.
