vscode-tab-traversal

Slightly intelligent text traversal with the Tab key.

Use the Tab and Shift+Tab shortcuts (or custom keybindings) to traverse through text in a file.

The cursor jumps to whichever of the following is closest:

• the end of the line
• the end of the nearest word
• before a closing bracket / quote

Empty lines are skipped.

Navigation between snippet placeholders and tab completion take precedence over this extension.

Using a code formatter with automatic indentation is recommended, or you can bind "Indent Line" and "Outdent Line" to different keys.

Examples

This shows tabbing to the end of a word and before the closing quote of a string.

This shows tabbing out of ${} within a template literal.

This shows tabbing out of a destructured object.

This shows tabbing past the => symbol of an arrow function.
