Blitz.GotoEditor

This project is a helper for Openning Any text Editor to a File/Line/Column.

Blitz.GotoEditor features:

• Listing builtin editors
• Expands Environment variables
• Built in Aliases that you can list in your UI

Getting started

• Intstall the Blitz.Goto Package from your nuget package manager.

How to set up a new project that utilizes Blitz.Goto:

• Create an empty console Appliction.

• Add a the nuget reference to the latest version: <PackageReference Include="Blitz.GotoEditor" Version="x.y.z.t" />

• List Built in Editors

var definitions = new GotoDefinitions();
foreach (var edit in  new GotoDefinitions().GetBuiltInEditors())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Title: {edit.Title} -> {Path.Combine(edit.ExecutableWorkingDirectory, edit.Executable)} {edit.Arguments}");
}

• Select Notepad++ from the list

var firstEditor = definitions.GetBuiltInEditors().FirstOrDefault(def => def.Title == "Notepad++")!;

• Create a Goto Action from the Editor. Goto Action takes care of translating the tags and environment variables.

var gotoAction = new GotoAction(firstEditor);

• Define what you want to go to. CreateAndTestFile will create a temp file path that you can test Goto Functionality with.

new GotoTestFile().CreateAndTestFile(out var myFileName,out var lineNumber, out var columnNumber );

• Create a directive for the goto action.

var directive = new GotoDirective(myFileName, lineNumber, columnNumber);

• Execute goto

gotoAction.ExecuteGoto(directive);
