Moving code does not move annotation #35

Quite useful extension.

However, if I move the code (for example, add new lines before the annotated code), annotation is attached to the old code position, not the new one.

Thank you for reporting this! This issue is a bit more complex than one might think. We need to figure it out how to track these changes.

LineNotePlus (https://github.com/prmichaelsen/linenoteplus) had a good approach of using code comments that link to markdown notes. It was an improvement of LineNote (https://github.com/tkrkt/linenote) which, like your extension, presumably relied on line number to associate a note with a particular line of code. LineNotePlus used comments in the source as a link to the note file. This would've been great but I don't think he ever tested it on Windows as it has significant issues. There is also SideNotes (https://github.com/cyberbiont/vscode-sidenotes/issues) which took the same approach as LinenotePlus. I'd love to find a tool like LineNotePlus that actually worked.
