Code Jump

Jump to any visible code in VS Code using character labels, inspired by AceJump/EasyMotion.

Motivation

While several navigation extensions exist for VS Code, Code Jump aims to closely replicate the fluid and intuitive experience of AceJump from JetBrains IDEs. Additionally, it features enhanced backspace handling for a smoother workflow.

Features

Quick cursor navigation without using the mouse
Each match gets a unique character label that you can press to jump directly to that location
Characters are chosen for labels in order of ease of pressing
Smart label generation that avoids using characters that conflict with the next character in target text
Supports backspacing when searching and typing labels
Integrates powerfully with vim visual mode, allowing selections to be extended to presize locations
Optionally insert labels inline with text to avoid labels covering possible matches

Usage

By default, press Ctrl+; (or Cmd+; on Mac) to activate Code Jump
Type characters to highlight matches
Type the displayed label to jump to that position
By default, press Ctrl+; (or Cmd+; on Mac) or simply Escape to exit Code Jump mode

Configuration

Modify code-jump.startJump keybinding for entering jump mode.
Modify code-jump.escapeJumpMode keybinding for exiting jump mode.
Set code-jump.inlineLabels to true to display jump labels inline with the text, rather than as overlays. Defaults to false.
Set code-jump.decorationColor to a hex color to change the color of the labels. Default is '#569cd6'.

Demos

Type as many characters of target without conflicting with a label
Uses 2 character labels when necessary, and narrows search after first character is pressed
Supports backspacing before and after partially matching a label
Can optionally insert labels inline with text to avoid labels covering possible matches
