🚀 Getting Started

1. Install Jump to Build from the VS Code Marketplace.
2. Open any Dart file containing Flutter widgets.
3. Use the shortcut Cmd+Shift+B (Mac) / Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows/Linux), or click the button in the title bar / status bar.

That’s it — the extension activates automatically in Dart files.

⚙️ Configuration

Available Settings

Example Configuration

Add to your user settings (settings.json):

{
  "jumpToBuild.showStatusBar": true,
  "jumpToBuild.showEditorTitle": true,
  "jumpToBuild.showCodeLens": true,
  "jumpToBuild.showContextMenu": true,
  "jumpToBuild.codeLensPosition": "aboveBuild"
}

💡 Tips

• View positioning
  The build method will appear slightly above the center of the screen, so you see both class declaration and the method body.

• Multiple widgets
  If a file has several build() methods, the extension lets you choose the one to jump to via CodeLens or quick pick.

• Performance
  Lightweight and optimized — only active in Dart files.

🔧 Troubleshooting

• Extension not working?

  1. Make sure the file is .dart
  2. Verify it contains a valid build(BuildContext context)
  3. Check the Extension Host output panel for logs

• Build not detected?
  Ensure your method follows Flutter conventions:

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container();
  }
