I am very often (maybe 50+ times/day) needing to jump from the diff in the Changes view to my Eclipse IDE. I copy a line, alt+tab, ctrl+H to search, paste, enter, hotkey to jump to first result. That is a tedious process for such a common action.

Is there a way to open the file in Eclipse at the same line I was at in Changes by using a hotkey?

If that is too specific, can you provide a trigger so I can do it? For example, it would be enough if SmartGit would run an executable with 2 arguments: path and line number.

I already have an Eclipse plugin with an HTTP API, it would be trivial to make it open a file at a particular line. Eg, SmartGit runs an executable that is a bash script, curl hits my Eclipse plugin endpoint, the file opens.

Hi Nate,

Currently, external tools do not support editor positions. Please request this feature at smartgit.userecho.com.
