micro-jump's Issues

Elixir support 🎉️

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS

Hello,

Nice plugin :)

I'm barely familiar with exuberant-ctags but it seems universal-ctags is more feature-full and should be recommended?

$ apt-get install exuberant-ctags
$ ctags --list-languages | wc -l
43

$ apt-get remove exuberant-ctags && snap install universal-ctags
$ ctags --list-languages | wc -l
144

Some work went into supporting Elixir here: universal-ctags/ctags#2034

And all seems to work well with that latter package.

Jumping in an unsaved file causes an error

Jumping when the current file is unsaved causes an error to flicker before opening fzf with no results.

The error is:

ctags: Warning: cannot open source file "" : No such file or directory

Not sure how to best handle this. Maybe make F4 a no-op if the file is unsaved?

No error message for missing pre-requisites on Windows

New to micro - install your plugin via 'plugin install jump' but when I press the F4 key micro crashes/shuts down 🤔

(using micro on win10 - installed via choco)

f4 closes micro

ctrl+e
plugin install jump
close micro
open a file with micro
press f4

result: f4 closes micro

shouldn't it "Jump"?

Can it jump to other files from the project?

As far as I can see, it jumps in the same file. Super nice. Would be amazing to jump to other files as well.
