Like Ace Jump, but better. Quickly move cursor to visible location

This is a fork (kind of) of https://github.com/msafi/xvsc/tree/master/findJump. Changes between this and the original repo should be reflected in the CHANGELOG file.

Find-Jump works when you type a sequence of characters so that it can narrow down the location to where you want to jump.

How to use Find-Jump

When you activate Find-Jump (Ctrl+;), you'll see a blinking red light in the status bar indicating that Find-Jump is active and is receiving your input (see gif above). Now you can start typing the characters to where you want to jump. Usually 3 to 5 characters should be enough to narrow down the location, but your own workflow may vary.

A few things to note:

• The jump character is always a single letter. Sometimes the jump character needs to be pressed with the SHIFT key, which would be indicated on the jump location like ⇧z
• Pressing the arrow keys or the enter key will exit Find-Jump

Settings

Color settings support referencing Theme Color Id.

• findJump.letterBackground: Background color of the extension's main decoration: letter to jump.

Commands

• findJump.activate: which activates Find-Jump
• findJump.activateWithSelection: like findJump.activate but will make a selection from the current cursor position to the new cursor position

TODO (in the future):

• ✨ Option to search in all visible editors (split/grid)
• ✨ Command to go to the next/previous match
• 🐎 Option to render decoraitons on top of the text instead of prepending (that moves the entire text)
