Feature request: ability to customize the character set used for jumping

jgarvin opened this issue · comments

Ace jump mode is great, and I get a lot of use out of it, but my use of it may be a little different from the typical user. I use speech recognition to code, and I have single words that I use in order to type individual letters and symbols (think military alphabet, "Lima" for L, "Mike" for M, etc.). This means it is the same amount of effort for me to type a lowercase letter as it is for me to type a punctuation symbol ("question" for ?, "bang" for !, etc.). However pressing a capital letter is more effort because I have to say a prefix phrase before I say the word for the letter ("big Mike"). It would be nice if I could provide a ordered by preference list to ace jump mode of characters to use for jumping (the ones that appear in red). This way I could add the punctuation symbols and put them before capital letters. I checked the FAQ but didn't see any mention of how to do this.

Hi @jgarvin. Ace jump seems abandoned. I suggest you try avy package. It might be easier to extend it to your needs since it's actively maintained.

Plus, that feature already exists in avy.
