Could the avy-goto-line be configured for different directions?

[ReneFroger]

For example, [] is the cursor.

1
2
3
4 []
5
6
7
8

When calling avy-goto-line-down, the keys to navigate are only appearing on line 5-6-7-8.
When calling avy-goto-line-up, the keys to navigate are only appearing on line 1-2-3.

I knew this is possible with Vim's Easymotion.

Would that be possible with Avy? With avy-goto-line, I got too many keys in both directions up and down, especially on a 2560x1600 16:10 screen 😄

I was wondering if I have described my issue clear enough? My English proficiency is not very well.

This issue is clear. However, it's not trivial to implement and not a high priority. I'll get to those functions eventually.

Thanks.

Just updated it, and it works. Thanks abo-abo!

avy-goto-line-above/below returned the following error message
when I used three windows two of which had the same buffer and the other of which had another buffer.

save-restriction: Args out of range: 132723, 132771

It seems narrow-to-region in avy--line took the invalid region
due to non selected window's buffer whose (point-max) was 7222.

It would be helpful if you could add (avy-all-windows nil) to let* form of avy-goto-line-above/below.

Thank you.

@momomo5717 thanks.

[momomo5717]

Thank you for the fix!

It seems the candidates of avy-goto-line-above includes the current line when the cursor position isn't the beginning of the line
and avy-goto-line-below includes the current point.

Could avy-goto-line-above/below use (line-beginning-position)/(line-beginning-position 2) as end/beg to exclude the current line?

Thank you.

Thank you for adding this!
This feature is very useful.

Thank you again!
