Structed

Structured editing for JavaScript

Features

Hierarchical navigation (expand/shrink selection or cursor position)
Manipulate nodes instead of plain text (copy/cut)

Default keybindings

Keybinding	Action
ctrl+alt+a	Select Node At Cursor
ctrl+alt+s	Expand Selection
ctrl+alt+d	Shrink Selection
ctrl+alt+x	Select Next Node
ctrl+alt+z	Select Previous Node
ctrl+alt+p	Select Top Level Node
ctrl+alt+k	Cut Selected Node

How it works

Because JavaScript’s source code is represented as plain text we need to parse it into AST first (structured representation of the code). And then analyze AST, with respect to cursor position in the editor, and compute selection range for AST nodes that should be “in focus” by walking the structure and extracting location data.
