Find & Jump 🔍🦘 (VS Code extension)

Easy way to find text, jump to it and cycle through matches, directly in your active editor window.

Usage

Press a keybinding to activate search mode
Enter your search text
Every new character will show new matches and select the closest match automatically
Press another key (e.g. TAB) to cycle through the matches

The difference to other extensions like this is that every keystroke will show & select new matches, without the need to confirm your search first.
