jump motions (ctrl-o / ctrl-i) #397
Conversation
|
It's too bad this issue never got any comments. Jump mode (super necessary!) works great on my machine by installing the cursor-history package and sticking this in my keymap: 'atom-text-editor.vim-mode.command-mode':
'ctrl-i': 'cursor-history:next'
'ctrl-o': 'cursor-history:prev'Near as I can tell, it's working 100%. It would be nice to integrate it into vim-mode but it probably needs a bit more cooking first. |

This is what I had to put in my keymap file for this to work: 'atom-text-editor.vim-mode.normal-mode':
'ctrl-i': 'cursor-history:next'
'ctrl-o': 'cursor-history:prev'Difference being |

Thank you for this solution. I'm glad that I have this feature now. I hope that it becomes a default feature soon. |

As stated in the README, this package is no longer maintained and is deprecated. We recommend that people use the vim-mode-plus package instead. Because of this, we are archiving this repository and closing all issues and pull requests. Thanks very much for your support and contributions! |
I've been playing around with implementing jump motions, to jump back and forth between previous cursor positions.
It is not finished. Before going any further I would prefer to get some feedback whether this makes sense.
Basically,
atom.workspace.vimState.jumpListwill keep track of the history of cursor positions across buffers in the current workspace. Entries on this list are added when a jump-motion is executed (gg, G, /, and some other commands).Then ctrl-o, ctrl-i is used to jump to older and newer positions, that could be in the same buffer, or in a different buffer - using atom.open in this case, to switch to the appropriate tab, or open the file if it was closed.
There are a few things pending, like creating an entry in the jumplist when switching buffers/tabs, which I'm not sure how to implement at the moment.
Any feedback on this? ideas?
