Add a magit-todos-follow-mode

[maxc01]

When in magit-todos-mode, we can use n, C-n, or <down> to directly navigate to the associated file of the next todo item and use p, C-p, or <up> to directly navigate to the associated file of the previous todo item.

Hi,

Thanks, this looks like a useful feature. I'll post a few comments as a review.

B.t.w, it is not easy for human eyes to follow the line when performing magit-todos-peek-at-item, especially when navigating todos fast using magit-todos-next-todo. It seems better to highlight the peeked line, or use a overlay, or just center the popped buffer.

This may depend on your personal Emacs configuration. As far as I know, peeking at the item should display it in the "peeking" window.

It could be helpful to display a highlight or overlay, but I'd prefer to avoid adding code to that effect unless it's really necessary. Users can use advice to do that if they want.

Please use this text, like the previous list:

Peek at the (next|previous) item.

If you want the command list looks consistent, it maybe better to use
Peek at the next item when =magit-todos-follow-mode= is activated.
Peek at the previous item when =magit-todos-follow-mode= is activated.
What do you think? You can always edit my branch if you want. :)

Note that I just pushed some new code to master, so please rebase it.

@maxc01 Looking at this again, and having learned how well the M-g M-n keybinding works in, e.g. Occur and Xref buffers, I wonder if that might be a better way to implement this feature. What do you think? If you're still interested, that is. :)

Hi @alphapapa , sorry for the late reply. Current I am using rg.el and have defined a todo search in the current project. It supports follow mode out-of-the-box. It lacks the fancy interface provided by your package, but it works for me fairly well.
