jump-char

• Why? Navigate by char. The best way to "get" it is to try it.

• Interface

| key | does | |---------+---------------------------------------------------| | | 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 |

Any other key stops jump-char and edits as normal.

C-c C-c switches to ace-jump-mode seamlessly.

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
