FREQ: Pref to only label text in active editor, key binding to override and label "all editors"
Not all of us want all the visible editor panes' contents given jump labels. I actually prefer to only see labels for the current editor pane by default.
If really interested in flexibility, would be useful to allow an alternate binding (when the pref is "true", i.e. only label active editor) which labels all editors. I suspect I'd not use it much, but in the name of orthogonality, some might want it.
I suppose the easiest impl would be to have both keybindings always active, the latter undefined by default, and if the pref is set to "true" then the scope of the "main" keybinding gets limited to active editor (while latter always labels all editors etc).
Hey, sorry just seeing this now.
I will add it to my backlog. Can't guarantee releasing this very soon. Would be willing to take PRs of course.
I'd build / accept this as just a diff keybinding ONLY. If someone wants to activate for ONLY the active editor... they use the new keybinding. If someone wants to ONLY use the active pane ALWAYS, then they just bind their ONE hotkey to the newly proposed reduced labels command.
Is this preference mainly for performance or cognitive load? (Sometimes when pair programming the full jump is a bit confusing without a proper "beacon"...which right now in vim mode isn't great)
May I ask how long you've been using Jumpy for approximately?
I am pretty sure a few people do want this but I am closing this. I think this is a bit of "feature creep". It goes against the spirit of Jumpy IMO. Performance seems to have been improved recently by VSC internals which was the only justifiable reason to implement IMO. If others ask I can link and build up the demand.
