Jump to the end of the word
Hey, I really like your package, but I miss the possibility to jump to the end of the word, so I can continue typing. Would it be possible to implement it or add option to configure it this way? Thanks.
What do you propose? I have one idea, but curious.
I take it you don't use vim-mode?
Also, see some of the other issues for a discussion on how I want to do end of line at some point also.
You are right, I don't use vim mode.
When I write code, I often want to go back and edit some word. Sometimes I want just to append something to the word, for example from 'user' to 'userId'. Currently with jumpy I can go to the beginning of 'user', but I still have to reach for the arrows to go to the end of the word. I would like to be able to use jumpy to go the end of word, append something, and then again use jumpy to go the end of the word I came from, so I can continue writing the code.
Does it make sense to you?
What if when you were in label mode, if you hit Tab It shifted the labels to the end of the word?
I can't just label end also, because of like words of length 2 or 3, also it gets noisey. Having them move is fine, and would perform fine, I'm sure.
Even as a vim user I might use this, not sure, but I might work on it at some point. There are a bunch of non vim-mode jumpy users for sure. Thanks for raising the issue / forcing me to rethink about it!
The only solution I can think of is to have different shortcuts for jumping to beginning or end of the word. Or an easy switch between beginning/end after entering 'jumpy' mode.
I also wanted to propose to have two different Match Pattern settings, one for start-of-match (current behavior), and one for end-of-match. The regexes would have to be non-overlapping for it to make sense.
This is a bit different from OP but didn't wanna create a new issue.
Use case: defining e.g. [,.\}] regex so you can easily jump after comma/dot/closing-brace. What do you think?
