Ctrl+G command does not appear in menu / list of all commands

[tpapastylianou]

This is not unique to Ctrl+G, but reporting this in isolation to keep it specific.

I found in a past issue here that the Ctrl+G key 'used to do something else' (related to sidepane recycling I think), but now shows the row and column instead.

This is a very useful function for me, but before I bumped into this in the forums, I looked for this kind of functionality in the menu and in the list of all commands and couldn't find it.

So the request is to add this to the menu and/or list of all commands possible for sheets in the help menu.

Using visidata v3.0.2 on linux, python 3.12.3.

The command that it runs is show-cursor. It's in the HelpSheet under TableSheet, but it's quite obscure. I didn't know about this command!

fyi, the ^G binding for show-cursor was removed in visidata3.1. You can add it back by putting in your .visidatarc:
Sheet.bindkey('^G', 'show-cursor')

The binding won't be visible in the menu but it will be visible if you press Space and type show-cursor.

If you'd like to see the col/row all the time, you can show them in your status bar by adding this to your .visidatarc

# Show the current col/row #s, 0-based, and show the row # as a % of the total rows, vim-style
# based on:  https://github.com/saulpw/visidata/issues/2848     #2025-08-22
@Sheet.property
def status_line_extras(sheet):
    frac = (sheet.cursorRowIndex + 1)/(sheet.nRows or 1)
    pct_str = f'{math.floor(100*frac):>3}%'
    if sheet.cursorRowIndex == 0:
        #vim uses a different condition: sheet.cursorRowIndex < sheet.nScreenRows
        pct_str = 'Top' if sheet.nRows > 0 else 'All'
    elif sheet.cursorRowIndex == sheet.nRows-1:
        #vim uses a different condition: sheet.cursorRowIndex >= sheet.nRows - sheet.nScreenRows:
        pct_str = 'Bot'
    pct_str = f'{pct_str:>4}'

    colstr_w = len(str(len(sheet.visibleCols)))
    col_status = f'c{sheet.cursorVisibleColIndex:>{colstr_w}}/{len(sheet.visibleCols)}'

    r_num = 'r' + f'{sheet.cursorRowIndex}'
    rowstr_w = len(str(sheet.nRows))+1
    row_status = f'{r_num:>{rowstr_w}}'

    return f'{col_status} {row_status} {pct_str}'
Sheet.class_options.disp_rstatus_fmt += '  {sheet.status_line_extras}'
