AceJump is a plugin for the IntelliJ Platform that lets you jump to any symbol in the editor with just a few keystrokes. Pressing the keyboard shortcut for AceJump (Ctrl+; by default) will activate a tooltip overlay. You can type any visible string in the editor, followed by one of illustrated tags, to jump that location:

If you press the AceJump shortcut a second time before completing a jump, it will activate Target Mode. Once Target Mode is activated, jumping to a tag will select the entire word at a jump target.

If you press the AceJump shortcut for line mode (Ctrl+Shift+; by default), AceJump will highlight the beginning, first non-whitespace characters, and end of every visible line in the editor). You can then jump by completing the tag.

If you press the AceJump shortcut, followed by →, ←, ↑, or ↑, AceJump will tag the last, first, or first non-whitespace character, respectively, of every visible line in the editor.

Finally, if you press Shift when completing the jump, AceJump will select all text from the current cursor position to the destination. It's that simple.

AceJump can be installed by the unzipping the contents of AceJump.zip into:

• $HOME/.IdeaIC<Major Version>/config/plugins/ if you are using IntelliJ IDEA Community, or
• $HOME/.IntellijIdea<Major Version>/config/plugins/ if you are using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate

You can also install AceJump directly from the IDE, via File | Settings | Plugins | Browse Repositories... | 🔍 "AceJump".

You can change the default keyboard shortcut, by visiting File | Settings | Keymap | 🔍 "AceJump" | AceJump | Enter⏎.

If you are using IdeaVim, you may wish to remap a single key to activate AceJump. For example, adding the following line to ˜/.ideavimrc will activate AceJump whenever the F key is pressed:

map f :action AceAction<CR>
