AceJump: Show two-letter combos up front

jmdodge opened this issue · comments

Just a little feature request - when I'm using AceJump, the nearer jumps take only one keystroke, but when there are many possibilities the further jumps take two keystrokes.
I think it would be much easier to get to these further jumps if their two-key combination was shown on the screen right up front, but instead you have to hit the first key and then wait for the second key needed to be revealed.
It's a subtle thing, but just enough for me to feel like jumping can be slightly more cumbersome than I want and I get lazy and don't use it. This is also how the other dedicated AceJump plugin works, but there is another bug with that plugin that prevents me from using it.

Great idea, unfortunately recently I lost my development evnironment, will find sometime to reset up new dev env, and try this idea.

considering following factors, I will not implement this request in near future:

  1. if show two-key combination, the hint keys will be smaller than normal char, which is hard to read.
  2. to keep align with acejump function works in emacs.
  3. usually there is small chance to type two-key combination for normal source code.

@jmdodge checkout the new version 1.3.3 which jumps more like avy-jump. Thanks for the suggestion.

@whunmr - Awesome! I think this is a definite improvement!
