More Info

jumpselect

A VS Code extension for jumping to specified characters.

Added Commands

jumpselect.jumpLeft and jumpselect.jumpRight

default keybindings: cmd+,, cmd+.

These commands wait for a key press and jump to the specified character or word.

Associated settings: jumpselect.wordModeTrigger and jumpselect.showInputBox.

jumpselect.jumpSelectLeft and jumpselect.jumpSelectRight

default keybindings: shift+cmd+,, shift+cmd+.

These commands function as their non-select variants, except they also select text along the way.

jumpselect.copyJumpLeft, jumpselect.copyJumpRight, jumpselect.copyJumpSelectLeft, and jumpselect.copyJumpSelectRight

default keybindings: alt+,, alt+., shift+alt+,, shift+alt+.

These commands function as their non-copy variants, except they jump to the most recently specified string instead of querying a new one.

jumpselect.setTargetToSelection

default keybinding: shift+cmd+/

This command sets the currently selected text to be the target of future copy-jumps.

Added Settings

jumpselect.showInputBox

This setting changes the behavior of the commands to use the input box instead of waiting for a key press (ie, it starts in "word mode"; see jumpselect.wordModeTrigger). This avoids conflicts with other extensions that also wait for key presses, but is slightly slower since it requires "enter" to confirm the key.

jumpselect.wordModeTrigger

This setting determines which character triggers "word mode" for the jump commands. Default is enter. Word mode uses the input box to take an arbitrary string as a jump target.

Requirements

This extension has no requirements.
