AceJump

Plugin for Sublime Text 2

It's inspired by AceJump for JetBrains WebStorm (inspired by emacs AceJump, which is inspired by EasyMotion for Vim)

Possibilities

With just one keyboard shortcut and two typed letters you can set your cursor to the begining or end of any word (or text chunk) on the screen. You can also select this word (like ctrl+d).

Description

After you type a keyboard shortcut (default is ctrl+;) an input field is opened. First character you type launches function which searches for all text chunks containing this character. Then it labels all found occurences. Next letter(s) you type are interpeted as label you want jump to. If you then press enter the cursor will be before your label. If you want to select target word just type plus sign (+) before hiting the enter. You can also jump to the end of the word by appending dollar sign ($).

Notice that current plugin status is indicated in status bar.

Thoughts

I did it that way, because that's all I found about Sublime Text 2 API. I used

Window.show_input_panel to collect user input
View.replace, View.add_regions and command undo to impement labels
similiar mechanism to goto_line.py to jump

tl;dr

Press ctrl+;, type first character, letter, <enter>, profit.
