vim-f

vim-f-motion is an extension for vscode which allows the use of the f motion. To use the f motion the default keybinding is alt+f. After entering listen mode with alt+f the next key press will move the cursor to the position of the pressed character within the same line.

Features

Jump to any character by pressing alt+f and then inputing the desired key.

• alt+f + char - Jump cursor to the next occurance of a typed char on the line.
• alt+shift+f + char - Jump cursor to the previous occurance of a typed char on the line.
• alt+; - Repeat last alt+f + char command.
• alt+, - Repeat last alt+shift+f + char command.

Extension Settings

There are keybindings you can set, if you want different keys. The defaults are as above.

Known Issues

You cannot do a selection as part of the jump. If you want to select all withing a range you can't do it using the motion. I might add a visual block mode so that it's possible to still make the selection, but it doesn't seem very ergonomic to have to press alt+v and then alt+f.

Release Notes

1.0.0

Initial release, basic f, shift+f, ; , , functionality.

Future

Might add a visual select block with alt+v or some other stuff too.

Enjoy!
