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' })

• 'mini.nvim' library:

  Branch	Code snippet
  Main	{ 'nvim-mini/mini.nvim', version = false },
  Stable	{ 'nvim-mini/mini.nvim', version = '*' },

• Standalone plugin:

  Branch	Code snippet
  Main	{ 'nvim-mini/mini.jump', version = false },
  Stable	{ 'nvim-mini/mini.jump', version = '*' },

• 'mini.nvim' library:

  Branch	Code snippet
  Main	Plug 'nvim-mini/mini.nvim'
  Stable	Plug 'nvim-mini/mini.nvim', { 'branch': 'stable' }

• Standalone plugin:

  Branch	Code snippet
  Main	Plug 'nvim-mini/mini.jump'
  Stable	Plug 'nvim-mini/mini.jump', { 'branch': '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,
}
