Jump
Find code from memory. Instantly.
You know the code exists. You just can't remember the filename or the exact function name. With Jump, you describe what you remember in plain words and it opens the right line — immediately.

How it works
- Open the Jump sidebar from the activity bar
- Type what you remember — keywords, concepts, or fragments
- Jump searches your workspace and ranks the best matches
- The top result opens instantly with the line highlighted
Example query: user age check form validate
Jump will find the validation logic you were thinking of, even if you don't remember the file or function name.
Features
- Keyword-to-code search — describe what you remember, not what you know
- Instant jump — the best match opens and the line is highlighted automatically
- Ranked results — up to 5 candidates shown with confidence scores
- Explain mode — see exactly which keywords matched each result
- Amber highlight — a subtle glow marks the target line, clears automatically
- Fast scanning — built with early-exit logic for real codebases
Installation
Install Jump from the VS Code Marketplace.
Once installed, the Jump icon appears in your activity bar. Click it to open the sidebar and start searching.
Why Jump
Ctrl+F works when you remember the exact text.
Jump works when you only remember the idea.
Most code search tools require you to already know what you're looking for. Jump is built for the moment when you remember that a piece of logic exists but can't recall where it lives.
Tips
- Use 3–5 descriptive keywords for best results
- Mix function concepts and data names:
token refresh expired handler
- Click Why? on any result to see which keywords matched
- Use the example chips in the sidebar to get started quickly
Requirements
- VS Code 1.85 or later
- A workspace folder must be open
