Is there a shortcut or feature that allows to Go to Line number ?

Am using marked2 with silversearcher (ag) from CLI. Silver searcher lists the found search strings with a line number.
So the workflow is like this
1. From CLI Use silversearcher to search multiple markdown files
2. From CLI Open the specific *.md file in MarkedApp
3. Go To Line with a shortcut like CMD+G and enter the line number
* Better yet pass an argument from the terminal to open a file in marked app and go to the specific line 

   Once Markdown is rendered to HTML, the line numbers from the original
   document have no direct correlation with the represented version
   anymore. So, short answer, there's not currently a way to jump to a
   point that represents a given line number from the original document.

   I've considered injecting a bunch of hidden HTML tags representing line
   numbers before the Markdown conversion happens, which I could then use
   to correlate screen position and line number, but all that extra markup
   is too messy. Plus it would likely interfere with custom processors,
   meaning I could only make it work for people using the built-in
   processors, which is then more support tickets. I've definitely thought
   about it, though, it would be a useful trick. I just haven't found a
   reasonable way to make it work.

   Thanks for the Reply.

   I wasn't thinking that Marked 2 was rendering Markdown to HTML. :(
   Guess I got too comfortable with the Vim shortcuts on Marked to like 'gg' "G", "/' for find, then I started pressing 22gg and it didn't work. :)

   Yeah, some things can't be replicated as easily :). I, too, use the vim
   shortcuts all the time, glad to hear someone else is finding them
   useful!

   Sorta' got it working from the terminal using Keyboard Maestro (KM) using these steps.

   1. Search using silver-searcher in the Terminal
      
   2. Copy the filename&search-string as URLEncoded String to clipboard using a script
      
   3. Trigger a Macro on KM using its Macro URL scheme (KM-URL)
      
   4. The KM Macro
      
      1. Opens the filename in Marked2.app
      2. Press Key "/" & paste the search-string
   5. Press CMD+G or CMD+SHIFT+G to navigate the matches in Marked2.app
