Help the developers to move the cursor.

Why do I develop such a tool?

When writing code, we often need to move the cursor, and thus we need to move hand to the direction keys or home/end keys. Although VsVim provides a virtual Vim environment and can avoid such problem, it is too complex and the mode switch is not convinient. So I develop MovHelper, just to help to move the cursor.

What can MovHelper do?

It helps you to move cursors, i.e. you can move the cursor left/right/up/down, or move forward/backward by a word, or move to the beginning/end of the line, while you don't need to move away your hands from the keyboard.

How to start it?

Press Alt+K to start it. It is the default hot key, and you can assign a different hot key for it.

How to use it?

Once you start the MovHelper, by default you are working under the assist mode. In this mode, the key combinations and the corresponding functions are as below.

KeysFunction
space + J/L/I/Kmove the cursor left/right/top/bottom
space + U/Omove to the begining/end of the line
space + H/;move backward/forward by a word
space + EExit Movhelper
space + Mchange to the movement mode

Once you change to the movement mode, the key combinations and the corresponding functions are as below.

KeysFunction
J/L/I/Kmove the cursor left/right/top/bottom
U/Omove to the begining/end of the line
H/;move backward/forward by a word
EExit Movhelper
space + Achange to the assist mode
