Jump to any line in Dreamweaver

Here’s a handy little shortcut for jumping around your code in Dreamweaver:

Ctrl+G

Hit this and enter a number to Go to that line. Great for quickly jumping to a line of code in a CSS (or other) file. I use this all the time when debugging my code and I’m inspecting elements in Firebug.

    I’v ebeen looking for something like this for a while. I tried your shortcut but no result? Which version of DW is it for? Is it for windows only?

    I tried Command instead of CTRL on mac but still nothing :(

    Would be great to do this, I am constantly searching for line numbers

    @nomad-one Thanks for posting the link. I originally posted this May 2007, but I just tried it in Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows 7 and Ctrl + G still works. Haven’t tried it on my Mac, though.

    This doesn’t seem to work in CS4 on a Mac – any updates on this tip? Thanks!

      Sorry, I forgot to reply to your question! I haven’t used Dreamweaver regularly in years, but you can open it and go to Edit > Go to line and see what the shortcut is on your system – it should be listed to the right of the command itself.

    On Mac: Command + ,

    Edit Menu -> Go to Line

    Someone know a feature like in jEdit to set “Markers” in the code for fast jumping in a file?

    I imagine it like in a Realtime Strategy Game, you push somewhere in the code Ctrl + 1 and with Alt + 1 you can jump everytime to that point. Simple.

    That must be possible with an extension or something. The alternative is to use jEdit…
