[](https://travis-ci.org/schasse/tmux-jump) A fast way to jump wherever you want in your terminal without using the mouse. A plugin similar to [vimium](https://vimium.github.io/) and [easymotion](https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion) but for tmux. tmux-jump is written in ruby and can easily be installed via tpm.  From now to then I think about how to improve my dev tools. Copy and pasting inside the terminal is something I do everyday, all the time. This is one of the most obvious things make more efficient. [tmux-yank](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-yank) improved the situation a lot. Though, it felt still annoying to get to the string I wanted to copy. Either I used to enter tmux copy mode and moved the cursor to the string or I used the mouse. I looked for a plugin such as easymotion for vim or ace jump for emacs, but I couldn't find one. So I decided to write my own tmux plugin. ## Requirements * [tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux) >= 3.1 * [ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/) >= 2.3 ## Installation via [TPM](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm) Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in `~/.tmux.conf`: ``` set -g @plugin 'schasse/tmux-jump' ``` Hit tmux-prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it. You should now be able to use the plugin. ## Manual Installation Clone the repository: ``` git clone https://github.com/schasse/tmux-jump ~/.tmux-jump ``` Add the following to `.tmux.conf`: ``` run-shell ~/.tmux-jump/tmux-jump.tmux ``` Reload tmux: ``` tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf ``` ## Usage * tmux-prefix + j and enter the first character of a word. * The screen will rerender and highlight the keys to press to jump to the word. * Type the key sequence of the word to jump to. * The cursor moves to the word. tmux-jump can also be used in in any program and during copy mode. You can customize the key binding in your `.tmux.conf`: ``` set -g @jump-key 's' ``` You can also customize foreground and background color: ``` set -g @jump-bg-color '\e[0m\e[90m' set -g @jump-fg-color '\e[1m\e[31m' ``` And the keys position: ``` # keys will overlap with the word (default) set -g @jump-keys-position 'left' # keys will be at the left of the word without overlap set -g @jump-keys-position 'off_left' ``` And the keys: ``` set -g @jump-keys 'aoeuidhtns' ``` The case sensitivity setting can be configured as well. The default is case-insensitive search. With casesensitive tmux-jump will only match the search character if the case matches. With smartcase, tmux-jump will match the search character case-insensitively if the search character is lowercase, and case-sensitively if the search character is uppercase. ``` # case-insensitive search (default) set -g @jump-key-case 'ignorecase' # case-sensitive only when the search character is uppercase set -g @jump-key-case 'smartcase' # always case-sensitive set -g @jump-key-case 'casesensitive' ``` ## Similar Projects * [vimium](https://vimium.github.io/) * [easymotion](https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion) * [ace-jump-mode](https://github.com/winterTTr/ace-jump-mode)
