block-nav.el

This is a package for navigating through code based on indentation. I made this after seeing this post on reddit.

Mostly it just looks like a really neat way of navigating code:

Installing

This package has been submitted to melpa and is waiting for approval. In the meantime, the package can be installed using `straight.el` if you’d like, or another package manager that allows you to install from GitHub sources.

(straight-use-package
 '(block-nav :type git :host github :repo "nixin72/block-nav.el")
 :config
 (progn
   (setf block-nav-move-skip-shallower t
        block-nav-center-after-scroll t)))

Usage

There are 4 interactive commands that you can use with this package:

• block-nav-next-block Moves to the next line of code with the same level of indentation.
• block-nav-previous-block Moves to the previous line of code with the same level of indentation.
• block-nav-next-indentation-level Moves to the next line of code with a deeper indentation level.
• block-nav-previous-indentation-level Moves to the previous line of code with a shallower indentation level.

The functionality of each of these functions is shown in the git above.

Configuring

Currently there are only two variable to add configuration:

• block-nav-center-after-scroll When non-nil, this will recenter the current line after calling any of the above 4 functions
• block-nav-move-skip-shallower When non-nil, any lines with shallower indentation will be skipped when using the 2 `move` functions above.
