[AceJump](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7086) is a plugin for the [IntelliJ Platform](https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/) that lets you jump to any symbol in the editor with just a few keystrokes. Press the keyboard shortcut for `AceAction` (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>;</kbd> by default) to activate AceJump. Type any string in the editor, followed by one of the illustrated tags, to jump its position:

Press the AceJump shortcut a second time to activate **Declaration Mode**, which is equivalent to the `Navigate To` action in the IDE. Press the AceJump shortcut three times before completing a tag to activate **Target Mode**. Once **Target Mode** is activated, jumping to a tag will select an entire word. **Target Mode** can also be activated directly by pressing the shortcut for `AceTargetAction` (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>;</kbd> by default).
![](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/175716/20177362/a9976398-a74c-11e6-955d-df029c7b329b.png)
Press the AceJump shortcut for **Line Mode**(<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>;</kbd> by default), to target the beginning, first non-whitespace, and last character of every line in the editor). Then jump to one by completing the tag.

Press the AceJump shortcut, followed by <kbd></kbd> to target the last, <kbd></kbd> to target the first, or <kbd></kbd>, to target the first non-whitespace characters of every line in the editor.

AceJump search is [smart case](http://ideavim.sourceforge.net/vim/usr_27.html#vim.27%2E1) sensitive, however tag selection is *not* case sensitive. Holding down <kbd>Shift</kbd> when typing the last tag character will select all text from the current cursor position to that destination.
## Tips
- Press <kbd>Tab</kbd> when searching to jump to the next group of matches in the editor.
- If you make a mistake searching, just press <kbd>Backspace</kbd> to restart from scratch.
- If no matches can be found on-screen, AceJump will scroll to the next match it can find.
- Pressing <kbd>Enter</kbd> or <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Enter</kbd> during a search will cycle through tagged results on screen.
- To select a location and continue editing, just press <kbd>Esc</kbd>.
- To use this feature with IdeaVim, you must be in Vim's Insert Mode (to be fixed at a later point).
- Keep typing! AceJump will accept multiple sequential characters before tag selection.
- Press the AceJump shortcut multiple times to cycle between modes.
- **Word Mode** action that will tag all visible words as soon as it is activated.
- **Declaration Mode** will jump to a token's declaration, if it exists.
- To rebind any keyboard shortcuts visit **Settings | Keymap | 🔍 "AceJump"**
## Installing
AceJump can be [installed directly from the IDE](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/managing-plugins.html#install), via **Settings | Plugins | Browse Repositories... | 🔍 "AceJump"**.
[Canary builds](https://teamcity.jetbrains.com/repository/download/acejump_buildplugin/.lastSuccessful/AceJump.zip?guest=1) are provided courtesy of [TeamCity](https://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/). These can be downloaded and [installed from disk](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/managing-plugins.html#install_plugin_from_disk).
## Configuring
[IdeaVim](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/164) users can choose to activate AceJump with a single keystroke (<kbd>f</kbd>, <kbd>F</kbd> and <kbd>g</kbd> are arbitrary) by running:
```
echo -e '
" Press `f` to activate AceJump
map f :action AceAction<CR>
" Press `F` to activate Target Mode
map F :action AceTargetAction<CR>
" Press `g` to activate Line Mode
map g :action AceLineAction<CR>
' >> ~/.ideavimrc
```
To change the default keyboard shortcuts, open **File \| Settings \| Keymap \| 🔍 "AceJump" \| AceJump \|** <kbd>Enter⏎</kbd>.

## Building
*Prerequisites: [JDK 8 or higher](http://openjdk.java.net/install/).*
To build AceJump, clone and run the Gradle task [`buildPlugin`](https://github.com/JetBrains/gradle-intellij-plugin#tasks) like so:
* `git clone https://github.com/acejump/AceJump && cd AceJump`
* For Linux and Mac OS: `./gradlew buildPlugin`
* For Windows: `gradlew.bat buildPlugin`
The build artifact will be placed in `build/distributions/`.
*Miscellaneous: AceJump is built using [Gradle](https://gradle.com/) with the [Gradle Kotlin DSL](https://docs.gradle.org/5.1/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html) and the [gradle-intellij-plugin](https://github.com/JetBrains/gradle-intellij-plugin).*
## Contributing
AceJump is supported by community members like you. Contributions are highly welcome!
If you would like to [contribute](https://github.com/acejump/AceJump/pulls), here are a few of the ways you can help improve AceJump:
* [Improve test coverage](https://github.com/acejump/AceJump/issues/139)
* [Add option to place the caret after the search text](https://github.com/acejump/AceJump/issues/225)
* [Support user-configurable keyboard layouts](https://github.com/acejump/AceJump/issues/172)
* [Speed up tagging on large files](https://github.com/acejump/AceJump/issues/217)
* [Animated documentation](https://github.com/acejump/AceJump/issues/145)
* [Display current search text](https://github.com/acejump/AceJump/issues/227)
* [Support for full screen tagging](https://github.com/acejump/AceJump/issues/144)
* [Fold text between matches](https://github.com/acejump/AceJump/issues/255)
* [Multi-platform support](https://github.com/acejump/AceJump/issues/229)
To start [IntelliJ IDEA CE](https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community) with AceJump installed, run `./gradlew runIde -PluginDev [-x test]`.
To just run [the tests](src/test/kotlin/AceTest.kt), execute `./gradlew test` - this is usually much faster than starting an IDE.
For documentation on plugin development, see the [IntelliJ Platform SDK](http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/).
## Release notes
Please [see here](/CHANGES.md) for a detailed list of changes.
## Comparison
AceJump is inspired by prior work, but adds several improvements, including:
* **Ergonomic** tagging: Tries to minimize finger and eye travel on most common keyboards layouts and languages.
* **Full-text** search: If a string is not visible on the screen, AceJump will scroll to the next occurrence.
* **Smart tag** rendering: Tags will occupy nearby whitespace if available, rather than block adjacent text.
* **Target mode**: Jump and select a full word in one rapid motion. (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>;</kbd>)
* **Line Mode**: Jump to the first, last, or first non-whitespace character of any line on-screen (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>;</kbd>).
* **Word Mode**: Jump to the first character of any visible word on-screen in two keystrokes or less.
* **Declaration Mode**: Jump to the declaration of a token (if it is available) rather than the token itself.
* **Pinyin support**: Pinyin search and selection, e.g. to search for "拼音", activate AceJump and type: <kbd>p</kbd><kbd>y</kbd>
