Code Ace Jumper

This extensions provides you with easy Ace Jump feature for Visual Studio Code. Ace Jump is fast cursor movement without touching neither the mouse nor cursor keys.

Commands

extension.aceJump when a key is specified, Code Ace Jumper matches each word's initial letter in the document. Words are identified by their separators (whitespaces, dots, squares, etc) which can be easily configured. Each initial letter is then marked with a unique char: by hitting a key, the cursor will be instantly moved in the corresponding position.

extension.aceJump.multiChar allows us to refine the placeholders by providing more characters. When one matches it automatically jumps, otherwise you can escape and then jump by matching remaining placeholders.
