I recently found out that Mitchell Hashimoto has a setup like this, which blew apart my belief that you need modern tooling to be productive. Do you not find that you fatigue more quickly as a result of having to actively recall everything though? I can't understand how doing things like this would actually result in better code.
The trick is to avoid idle browsing of the code. Be intentional about what you need to do.
I use tools like grep/ripgrep to get a more focused of the code. Then with the line number, I can jump directly to where I need to be. Same with tools like linters and compilers.
In the same file, I often use search instead of line/character movement. You search for a symbols and you just cycle through their location.
I don't think it leads to a better code. But badly organized code will make this harder, so you tend to think about organization.
