Jumper

Jumper is a search-and-jump navigation tool for VS Code, heavily inspired by avy. Its primarly goal is to provide better text navigation solution for Vim Emulation plugin users. It is not meant to be used as a search tool alternative and will never strive to become one.

Installation

Install Jumper from the VS Code Extension Marketplace or download the vsix file from the latest release and run the following command in the download directory:

code --install-extension jumper-<version-number>.vsix

Features

Jumper's one and only feature is its search prompt, which is by default mapped to Shift+Space. All characters are supported with the sole exception of . which Jumper reserves as its special character.

All the results will be highlighted with the currently active having inverted colors. Every result also has an index number before it. The first occurence is by default selected as the jump location.

You can change the jump location by adding a dot and a corresponding number at the end of the prompt, such as this:

hello.3

The third occurence of hello is now the jump target.

Only the last dot-number combination is evaluated. Any text that comes after the dot will not be evaluated. If a dot-number combination is not found in the prompt, Jumper will revert to its default behaviour (e.g. selecting the first occurence). In other words, cases such as hello. or hello.world will be evaluated using the default behaviour.

Extension Settings

The default keybind for jumper.searchBuffer can be modified in keybind settings.
