vscode-accelerated README

Accelerates cursor up and down, like accelerated-jk for Vim.

Features

When you holding up or down key, this extension accelerates cursor moving. When up or down key repeated 7 times, cursor moves 2 lines per repeat (by default). The repeat count will be reset after 150 ms (also by default).

Requirements

Currently VSCodeVim and native cursorMove are supported.

Setup

No default keymap is provided, because this extension is almost intended to use with Vim extension. For VSCodeVim, place the snippet on below to your User Settings:

{
  "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
      "before": ["j"],
      "commands": [{
        "command": "accelerated.cursorDown"
      }]
    },
    {
      "before": ["k"],
      "commands": [{
        "command": "accelerated.cursorUp"
      }]
    },
  ],
}

If you don't use Vim extension, you can simply map up and down keys to accelerated.cursorUp and accelerated.cursorDown commands. Then do not forget to set accelerated.commandMode to cursorMove.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• accelerated.accelerationTable: Number of key presses required to add 1 up/down motion per key press.
• accelerated.resetTime: Acceleration will be reset after specified time in millisecond elapsed.
• accelerated.commandMode: Select command to be used for up/down motion. Currently vscodevim, vscodevim-gj-gk and cursormove are supported.
