JVroom

JetBrains Marketplace Page

Problem

• you like using neovim or vim motions
• you mainly work in a single page (you don't have 2 files open side-by-side in the same project
• you like not having to use the mouse while writing code
• if you use neovim, you like using Harpoon to jump between the small set of files that you work on
• you have to program in java at your job, so you have to use intelliJ

Usage

• Have the IdeaVim plugin installed (it is possible to use it without it but why the heck would you?)
• Map the actions to vim keybindings

" Opens edit files menu
map <leader>e :action com.ofya.jvroom.actions.EditFilesAction<CR>

" Adds a file to the list
map <leader>a :action com.ofya.jvroom.actions.AddFileAction<CR>

• Navigate between files using Alt+a (opens first file in the list), Alt+s (opens the second file in the list) and so on. You can remap them or just bind them to vim keybindings

" You can replace the '0' in OpenFileAction0 with any number from 0 to 8
map <M-a> :action com.ofya.jvroom.actions.openfile.OpenFileAction0

• Edit files menu usage
  • use j and k to move down and up the list of files
  • use Shift+J and Shift+K to move the selected file down and up the list
  • double click d or use Shift+D to remove file from list
  • enter to save changes to list
  • esc to discard changes to list

Notes

• Currently, you can have only 9 files maximum in the list.
• Does not play nice if you want 2 files open side by side. It is made to work with only a single file open at a time
