Find-Jump works when you type a sequence of characters so that it can narrow down the location to where you want to jump.
How to use Find-Jump
When you activate Find-Jump (Ctrl+;), you'll see a blinking red light in the status bar indicating that Find-Jump is active and is receiving your input (see gif above). Now you can start typing the characters to where you want to jump. Usually 3 to 5 characters should be enough to narrow down the location, but your own workflow may vary.
A few things to note:
The jump character is always a single letter. Sometimes the jump character needs to be pressed with the SHIFT key, which would be indicated on the jump location like ⇧z
Pressing the arrow keys or the enter key will exit Find-Jump
