Navigate by char. The best way to "get" it is to try it. Interface (while jumping): :: move to the next match in the current direction. ; :: next match forward (towards end of buffer) , :: next match backward (towards beginning of buffer) C-c C-c :: invoke ace-jump-mode if available (also ) Any other key stops jump-char and edits as normal. The behaviour is strongly modeled after `iy-go-to-char' with the following differences: * point always stays before match * point during search is same as after exiting * lazy highlighting courtesy of isearch ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3, or (at your option) any later version.
