Jumper

Jumper is a search-and-jump navigation tool for VS Code, heavily inspired by avy.

Philosophy

My one and only goal with Jumper is to create a solution which would allow quick navigation around the screen by jumping around words. Jumper is not meant to replace any search tools and will never aim to do so.

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

You can open Jumper's search prompt using the default shortcut Shift Space.

Jumper processes all queries as regular expressions, so keep in mind using escape sequences for special symbols (except for dot (.) character, see further below).

After entering a query, Jumper will highlight the first occurence in text. The highlighted location always shows where Jumper will move your cursor.

Non-highlighted search results will have a small index number before them. If a number is added behind a query with a dot inbetween:

<query>.<number>

then Jumper will use that index as the move target.

If the index is out-of-bounds, Jumper will select the last occurence of the query.

If multiple dot-number combinations are provided, such as:

<query>.<number-1>.<number-2>

the last dot-number combination will be used as target. If a trailing dot or a dot followed by any text is provided, it will be evaluated as

<query>.1

Extension Settings

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

Theming options are WIP.
