[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Proposed slight change to Go-To Line functionality (#2146)

[rubyFeedback]

Right now if you input a number like

12345678

In the go-to widget

nothing happens.

The file I was modifying was a large .yml file, 16000 lines.

12345678 is much higher than 16000 so "technically"
geany would be "correct". But, the event that me as the user
is using that, the current behaviour is quite useless as the
go-to functionality does not work. In that case I would
like to, in pseudo code, have this behaviour:



    if user did input a HUGE number here
      automatically set the number to the "end of the file"

That way I as the user do not have to give an exact number
if I want to quickly jump to the end of a file, even if only
accidentally.

I reason that this behaviour would be better than the current
"no action is done" behaviour, which is quite useless to me.
(I also admit that this behaviour was with my old editor,
and I got used to it a lot. The go-to behaviour of geany
ni this regard is quite useless to me right now; I dont want
to need or have to need to know the number, it could be
autoset in this case, to the last line).
