Features

Extend f, F, t, T to work on multiple lines.
Repeat jump by pressing f, F, t, T again. It is reset when cursor moved as a result of not jumping or timeout after idle time (duration customizable).
Highlight (after customizable delay) all possible target characters and stop it after some (customizable) idle time.
Normal, Visual, and Operator-pending (with dot-repeat as in clean Neovim) modes are supported.

Installation

This plugin can be installed as part of 'mini.nvim' library (recommended) or as a standalone Git repository.

There are two branches to install from:

main (default, recommended) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled).
stable will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase in main branch.

Here are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):

'mini.nvim' library:

| Branch | Code snippet | |--------|-----------------------------------------------| | Main | Follow recommended 'mini.deps' installation | | Stable | Follow recommended 'mini.deps' installation |
Standalone plugin:

| Branch | Code snippet | |--------|----------------------------------------------------------------| | Main | add('nvim-mini/mini.jump') | | Stable | add({ source = 'nvim-mini/mini.jump', checkout = 'stable' }) |

Important: don't forget to call require('mini.jump').setup() to enable its functionality.

Note: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like error: unable to create file <some file name>: Filename too long). Try doing one of the following:

Enable corresponding git global config value: git config --system core.longpaths true. Then try to reinstall.
Install plugin in other place with shorter path.

Default config

-- No need to copy this inside `setup()`. Will be used automatically.
{
  -- Module mappings. Use `''` (empty string) to disable one.
  mappings = {
    forward = 'f',
    backward = 'F',
    forward_till = 't',
    backward_till = 'T',
    repeat_jump = ';',
  },

  -- Delay values (in ms) for different functionalities. Set any of them to
  -- a very big number (like 10^7) to virtually disable.
  delay = {
    -- Delay between jump and highlighting all possible jumps
    highlight = 250,

    -- Delay between jump and automatic stop if idle (no jump is done)
    idle_stop = 10000000,
  },

  -- Whether to disable showing non-error feedback
  -- This also affects (purely informational) helper messages shown after
  -- idle time if user input is required.
  silent = false,
}
