Features

• Make jump by iterative filtering of possible, equally considered jump spots until there is only one. Filtering is done by typing a label character that is visualized at jump spot.
• Customizable:
  • Way of computing possible jump spots with opinionated default.
  • Characters used to label jump spots during iterative filtering.
  • Visual effects: how many steps ahead to show; dim lines with spots.
  • Action hooks to be executed at certain events during jump.
  • Allowed windows: current and/or not current.
  • Allowed lines: whether to process blank or folded lines, lines before/at/after cursor line, etc. Example: user can configure to look for spots only inside current window at or after cursor line. Example: user can configure to look for word starts only inside current window at or after cursor line with 'j' and 'k' labels performing some action after jump.
• Works in Visual and Operator-pending (with dot-repeat) modes.
• Preconfigured ways of computing jump spots (see help for MiniJump2d.builtin_opts()):
  • Starts of lines.
  • Starts of words.
  • Single character from user input.
  • Variable length query from user input.
• Works with multibyte characters.

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.jump2d')
  Stable	add({ source = 'nvim-mini/mini.jump2d', 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.jump2d', version = false },
  Stable	{ 'nvim-mini/mini.jump2d', 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.jump2d'
  Stable	Plug 'nvim-mini/mini.jump2d', { 'branch': 'stable' }

Important: don't forget to call require('mini.jump2d').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.
{
  -- Function producing jump spots (byte indexed) for a particular line.
  -- For more information see |MiniJump2d.start|.
  -- If `nil` (default) - use |MiniJump2d.default_spotter|
  spotter = nil,

  -- Characters used for labels of jump spots (in supplied order)
  labels = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',

  -- Options for visual effects
  view = {
    -- Whether to dim lines with at least one jump spot
    dim = false,

    -- How many steps ahead to show. Set to big number to show all steps.
    n_steps_ahead = 0,
  },

  -- Which lines are used for computing spots
  allowed_lines = {
    blank = true, -- Blank line (not sent to spotter even if `true`)
    cursor_before = true, -- Lines before cursor line
    cursor_at = true, -- Cursor line
    cursor_after = true, -- Lines after cursor line
    fold = true, -- Start of fold (not sent to spotter even if `true`)
  },

  -- Which windows from current tabpage are used for visible lines
  allowed_windows = {
    current = true,
    not_current = true,
  },

  -- Functions to be executed at certain events
  hooks = {
    before_start = nil, -- Before jump start
    after_jump = nil, -- After jump was actually done
  },

  -- Module mappings. Use `''` (empty string) to disable one.
  mappings = {
    start_jumping = '<CR>',
  },

  -- 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,
