Better Leap Extension for Visual Studio Code

Leap provides an easy way to move the cursor in vscode without using the mouse. Based on leap.nvim

Feature Overview

Leap lets you jump to any location in the visible editor area by entering a two-character search pattern and then possibly a tag character to select your destination from multiple matches.

Extension Settings

Keybindings

Define new keybinds using the "leap.find-forwards" and "leap.find-backwards" commands.

Emulating Vim

Example using the Vim extension, mimicking leap.nvim:

"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
        "before": ["s"],
        "commands": ["leap.find-forwards"]
    },
    {
        "before": ["S"],
        "commands": ["leap.find-backwards"]
    }
]

Release Notes

1.1.0

  • Labels don't take space anymore (text does not shift when showing labels)
  • Labels are set from the cursor position rather than always from up to down

1.0.0

Working like leap.nvim (showing labels from first key) - missing safe labels implementation

0.0.3

The behaviour when searching for whitespaces has been improved.

0.0.2

The end of a line now acts as if it had trailing whitspaces. Try jumping to the end of it by pressing space twice.
