Alter comment pager to jump to comment section right away?
The only hook Drupal uses to alter a pager is hook_preprocess_pager() but that is invoked for every pager on any page, not just the pager used for comments.
The alternative is adding a new formatter for comments, which by default is the CommentDefaultFormatter class, and make it the default one with hook_field_info_alter().
function mymodule_field_info_alter(&amp;$info) {
  // Change the default widget for fields of type 'comment'.
  if (isset($info['comment'])) {
    $info['comment']['default_formatter'] = 'mymodule_comment_formatter';
  }
}

(mymodule_comment_formatter is the formatter ID used in its annotation.)
The relevant code that sets the pager is in CommentDefaultFormatter::viewElements(), which contains the following lines.
if ($comments) {
  $build = $this-&gt;viewBuilder-&gt;viewMultiple($comments, $this-&gt;getSetting('view_mode'));
  $build['pager']['#type'] = 'pager';

  // CommentController::commentPermalink() calculates the page number
  // where a specific comment appears and does a subrequest pointing to
  // that page, we need to pass that subrequest route to our pager to
  // keep the pager working.
  $build['pager']['#route_name'] = $this-&gt;routeMatch-&gt;getRouteObject();
  $build['pager']['#route_parameters'] = $this-&gt;routeMatch-&gt;getRawParameters()-&gt;all();
  if ($this-&gt;getSetting('pager_id')) {
    $build['pager']['#element'] = $this-&gt;getSetting('pager_id');
  }
  $output['comments'] += $build;
}
