This extension implements a simplified version of the EasyMotion plugin for Vim for VS Code. It supports jumping to the start and end of words based on the provided commands, as well as jumping to lines without words.
This extension provides the default key bindings alt+/ for jumping to a word and alt+shift+/ for jumping to the end of a word (as well as the ability to switch between search modes mid-serach - see the Search Modes section for detail). When jumping, simply use the highlighted keys to jump to the desired position.
By default, escape exits jump mode without changing the cursor position/selection.
While in jump mode, pressing backspace will undo the last character entered for the jump (eg if you want to jump to vf but instead type b, pressing backspace reveals the v characters again). If no characters have been entered, then it behaves in the same way as escape.
There are currently four search modes - searching for token starts, token ends, "inner words", and searching for all possible jump points. You can switch between the different modes with 1-4, or by using tab/shift+tab (by default) to iterate through them.
| Command | Default Keybinding |
|---|---|

To change key bindings, simply reassign them in the Visual Studio Code Keybindings configuration (either by editing the JSON directly or in the UI).
Aside from the configurable keybindings, this extension exposes the following configuration options...
| Option | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| vscode-easymotion.allowJumpingToWordlessLines | true | When enabled, lines that do not contain any words will include a jump point at the end of the line |
