About This packages tries to smartly go to definition leveraging several methods to do so.
If one method fails, this package will go on to the next one, eventually falling back to the default xref.
Install Install using
use-package.#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes (use-package smart-jump :ensure t) #+end_src
Take a look at the examples below to
registerasmart-jumpand then use it with the standard jump keys. (e.g.M-., M-, M-?).Alternatively, clone this repo, add it to Emacs'
load-pathand then requiresmart-jump.There's also some ready made
smart-jumps.There are two ways to set up default registers.
Call
smart-jump-setup-default-registers.#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(use-package smart-jump :ensure t :config (smart-jump-setup-default-registers)) #+end_src
Bind commands to smart-jump-go, smart-jump-back and smart-jump-references. #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes (use-package smart-jump :ensure t :commands (smart-jump-go smart-jump-back smart-jump-references)) #+end_src Upon running one of these commands, smart-jump will register jumps for you.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes (use-package smart-jump :ensure t :bind (("M-." . smart-jump-go) ("M-," . smart-jump-back) ("M-?" . smart-jump-references))) #+end_src
Defer smart-jump by using :bind.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes (use-package smart-jump :ensure t :commands (smart-jump-go smart-jump-back smart-jump-references) :init (with-eval-after-load 'general (general-define-key :states '(normal visual motion) :keymaps 'override "M-." 'smart-jump-go "M-," 'smart-jump-back "M-?" 'smart-jump-references))) #+end_src
Defer smart-jump in evil with general.
The deferred approaches allows one to save some startup-time by avoiding having to load the package as well as loop through all the jump registrations.
Examples ** Bare minimum example Sets up smart-jump for python-mode with anaconda. smart-jump will first attempt to jump using anaconda and, falling back to xref if anaconda fails.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes (smart-jump-register :modes 'python-mode :jump-fn 'anaconda-mode-find-definitions :pop-fn 'anaconda-mode-go-back :refs-fn 'anaconda-mode-find-references :should-jump #'smart-jump-python-anaconda-available-p :heuristic 'point :async 600) #+end_src
** Multiple modes
Sets up smart-jump for both emacs-lisp-mode and lisp-interaction-mode.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(smart-jump-register :modes '(emacs-lisp-mode lisp-interaction-mode)
:jump-fn 'elisp-slime-nav-find-elisp-thing-at-point
:pop-fn 'pop-tag-mark
:should-jump t
:heuristic 'error
:async nil)
#+end_src
** Supporting Asynchronous Functions
Sometimes GoToDefinition is written in an asynchronous fashion which makes it
tricky to fallback to the next GoToDefinition method. This package supports
that case. Just set the :async parameter.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(smart-jump-register :modes 'java-mode
:jump-fn 'ggtags-find-tag-dwim
:pop-fn 'ggtags-prev-mark
:should-jump t
:heuristic 'point
:async t)
#+end_src
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes ;; This sets a custom timeout. (smart-jump-register :modes 'csharp-mode :jump-fn 'omnisharp-go-to-definition :pop-fn 'pop-tag-mark :should-jump t :heuristic 'point :async 500) #+end_src ** Finding References with Fallback #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes (smart-jump-register :modes 'tide-mode :jump-fn 'tide-jump-to-definition :pop-fn 'tide-jump-back :refs-fn 'tide-references :should-jump t :heuristic 'point :async t) #+end_src ** A more complex example Register different GoToDefinition functions with c-mode.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes (smart-jump-register :modes '(c-mode c++-mode) :jump-fn 'ggtags-find-tag-dwim :pop-fn 'ggtags-prev-mark :refs-fn 'ggtags-find-reference :should-jump t :heuristic 'point :async 500 :order 2)
(smart-jump-register :modes '(c-mode c++-mode) :jump-fn 'rtags-find-symbol-at-point :pop-fn 'rtags-location-stack-back :refs-fn 'rtags-find-all-references-at-point :should-jump (lambda () (and (fboundp 'rtags-executable-find) (rtags-executable-find "rc") (rtags-is-indexed))) :heuristic 'point :async 500 :order 1) #+end_src
In this case, the fallback strategy is ->
For Jumping
rtags-find-symbol-at-point->ggtags-find-tag-dwim->xrefFor Finding References
rtags-find-all-references-at-point->ggtags-find-reference->smart-jump-simple-find-references
The :order keyword in this case designates the sort order of the jumps.
