Leap Extension for Visual Studio Code

Leap provides an easy way to move the cursor in vscode without using the mouse. Based on leap.nvim

Feature Overview

Leap lets you jump to any location in the visible editor area by entering a two-character search pattern and then possibly a tag character to select your destination from multiple matches.

The default key assignment to open the Leap widget is Ctrl + Alt + F and with Alt + C you can toggle the "Match Case" option.

Extension Settings

Keybindings

Define new keybinds using the "leap.find" and "leap.match-case" commands.

Settings

When searching for <space><space> leap will generate a label for every chain of whitespaces. To emulate the default behaviour of leap.nvim, which only shows labels at the end of every line, enable "leap.whiteSpacesOnlyMatchNewLine".

Emulating Vim

Example using the Vim extension, mimicking leap.nvim:

"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
        "before": ["s"],
        "commands": ["leap.findForward"]
    },
    {
        "before": ["S"],
        "commands": ["leap.findBackward"]
    },
]

Known Issues

None, but feel free to report any bugs you may find :)
