Searching Example

The caret is at the end of the using block and you want to move it to the 'C' in 'Console.WriteLine.

Instead of moving your hands to the arrow keys or even worse, grabbing the mouse, simple initiate an easy motion search by pressing Shift+Control+;.

The editor adds a status line to let you know it's ready to search. Type 'C' as this is the character we want to navigate to.

The editor will replace all occurences of 'C' with a new letter (A-Z). At this point if you type any of the letters the caret will be moved to that location. In this case you type 'I' to move to the correct occurence of 'C'

The caret is now at the start of 'Console.WriteLine' as we wanted at the start

easymotion's Issues

Fix conflict with VsVim

Right now VsVim and EasyMotion are fighting for the same key strokes. Need to resolve this conflict

Needed release support for VS2010

Could you release one version to support VS2010?

PS: How could I build EasyMotion project in my VS2010, it showed unregonized vs version.

Thank you very much.

Create a separate branch for VS2015 legacy support

So that EasyMotion can progress and use libraries from v15.x and beyond, I suggest we create a separate branch for a VS2015-only version.

I have created such a branch on my fork. justcla/EasyMotion/VS2015

Can you please create a branch on your main fork so I can push my branch to you?

Thanks!

Remove Global shortcut Ctrl+Shift+L

The menu item was assigned two shortcuts.
A Text Editor shortcut for Ctrl+Shift+;
A Global shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+L

The global shortcut will not work inside the text editor (with default shortcuts) since the default shortcut for Edit.LineDelete is on Ctrl+Shift+L at the TextEditor scope.

Better to expose the Ctrl+Shift+; shortcut instead.

Move menu item to Edit->GoTo menu

Rename the item "Go To Character" and move it to the Edit->GoTo menu.

Like such...

Support for Visual Studio 2019

Hey @jaredpar, are there any plans for providing support for Visual Studio 2019?

VsVim conflict issues

When I search for some characters that modify the code under caret, it messes up. For example if I have caret under 'C' in Console.log("something"); when I search for 's' it deletes 'C' and the line becomes onsole.log("something");

Not only this, it also insert the found char in place of the found place. So for the previous search if the 's' in the "something" is highlighted with e.g. "A" then the result for finding and going to s from the "C" will be:

form Console.log("something");
to
onsole.log( "Asomething");

I use VsVim in Visual Studio professional 2015 on a Windows 10 PC.

Any plan for camel case motion?

Your work of VsVim and EasyMotion are amazing!

They give me all i want for my daily programming except this one:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1905

I would feel no pain anymore if this plugin can also be created. Or maybe it can be part of EasyMotion?

How to setup?

Hey guys, sorry for my nooby question here.

How do I go about installing this into visual studio? I'm using the latest version. Tried searching for it in 'install extension' area of the package manager but it doesn't show up.

Thanks in advance!

Jumping to uppercase letters

It would be nice when we want to jump to an uppercase char only those will be highlighted.

E.g.:
Pressing "M" would only highlight occurences with "M"s and not "m"s
Two options when there isn't any "M" in the visible text:

• Silently fail / display a message that there isn't a possible jump spot
• Instead highlight all lower case "m" chars

I'd prefer the first solution to avoid any ambiguity.

Btw Jared, is VS (2013) able to show a different caret type than the small rectangular block?

As you can see in the pictures on https://github.com/tednaleid/sublime-EasyMotion
it uses a larger block caret for the highlighting.

Release for 2012

Change the manifest and build such that it can handle 2012 as well

Too many matches - how to select?

Hey! Now that @bordev has this working with VsVim, this is the other must-have plugin! :)

...but I can't seem to figure out how to select items when >52 matches occur? Enter/Space doesn't do it.

Is there a way to do this, or is that a feature request? Thanks!

Suggestions for improvement

The better approach is to handle lower and uppercase A-Z as different jump marks. If you have a large screen or a small font there can be many matches (more than 26). With a-zA-Z you have 52 different positions you can directly jump to. The Easy Motion plugins that I know of (for ST / vim) do it the same way.

Btw, what is supposed to happen when there are more possible jump locations than (atm) 26 / 52 (for a-zA-Z)?

A good way to handle it is: If that's the case, the spacebar shifts to the next results (so the current positions are hidden and the next matches will be visible).

VS2015 support?

Support for Visual Studio 2015 ?

Be warned, ABNT and ABNT2 keyboard!

Be warned, [Ctrl + Shift + ;] combination does not work in ABNT and ABNT2 keyboard! 👍

Inserting chars while jumping

Two problems:

• Ctrl+, is my keybinding. I'm using VsVim + Resharper.
  When I press my keyboard shortcut and enter the char that I want to jump to (I'm currently in insert mode)
• Intellisense pops up at the current caret position (which makes everything impossible to navigate under it's popup)
• The char that is was searching for is inserted at the current position and at the destination the char that I typed to reach it.

E.g.:

{<cursor pos>
StreamReader myReader = new StreamReader("Values.txt");

I type "s" to jump to "_S_treamReader("Values.txt");

Result:
(it's more code on the screen so let's say the "S" had the "Z" as the char to jump to:

{s
StreamReader myReader = new zStreamReader("Values.txt");

The behavior in normal mode (VsVim) is a bit different:
It will delete the char under the caret position on the first char I enter. The second part (for the destination) is the same as in insert mode.

E.g.:

StreamReader myReader = new zStreamReader("Values.txt");
