What did you do?

Scrolled through folded code once with the j key held down, another time pressing it over and over.

What did you expect to happen?

Folded lines were skipped.

What happened instead?

Cursor did not skip the folded lines (watch the line numbers in the gif).

Technical details:

• VSCode Version: 1.6.1
• VsCodeVim Version: 0.4.0
• OS: macOS Sierra (10.12)

This is annoying, but also hard. @aminroosta tried but had a bad time: #708

The problem as I understand it is that the only API VSCode allows us is "cursorMove" to move the cursor over folded lines, but we would actually like to know the position of the cursor as well (which "cursorMove" does not provide).

on ubuntu, i also suffer from this a log I found the solution using gg to jump to the last line

[phrohdoh]

gg takes you to the first column on the first row, not the last line.

[ta3pks]

@phrohdoh for example 25gg will take you to 25th line not the beginning i meant end of the block by last line

@NikosEfthias Oh I see, TIL. Thanks!

I can confirm this on VSCode 1.9.1 with Vim Plugin 0.5.3.

This makes working with larger, more complex files very unwieldy!

I've tried disabling the vim plugin and moving with the cursor keys. In that case it works as expected (folds remain closed).

+1 for this. Having my folds open while I'm navigating is quite frustrating. I find myself having to use my mouse to reposition my cursor, which should make all of us sad.

+1 for fixing this asap

[ztmdsbt]

+1 for this. It makes me very painful.
