feature: line jump with hints on the same column

Did you check the docs?

• [X] I have read all the flash.nvim docs

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Showing the labels at the beginning of the line can be hard to follow specially when the lines are indentated and there is a big gap of space between the label hint and the start of the text in the line.

Describe the solution you'd like

Something like this

In the example code for line jumps label = { after = { 0, 0 } }, the tuple is the offset from the match to show the label, can you try changing the first 0 based on vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor to get it to render at the same column as the cursor?

[shadyalfred]

Good idea, @IndianBoy42!

local col = vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)[2]

flash.jump({
  ...
  label = {
    before = { 0, col },
  },
})

The label is shown in the correct position, but jumping to it moves the cursor to the beginning of that line which is a bit disorienting.

This works great!

local col = vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)[2]

flash.jump({
  ...
  label = {
    before = { 0, col },
  },
})

vim.api.nvim_input(col .. 'l')

You can also use opts.jump.offset

Yes, I've found out about it after closing the issue. Also disabling the search highlight because it was confusing.

-- Move to lines beneath the cursor
local col = vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)[2]

flash.jump({
  jump = {
    offset = col,
  },
  search = {
    mode = 'search',
    max_length = 0,
    forward = true,
    wrap = false,
    multi_window = false,
  },
  pattern = '^',
  label = {
    before = { 0, col },
  },
  highlight = {
    matches = false,
  },
})

-- move to lines above the cursor
local col = vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)[2]

flash.jump({
  jump = {
    offset = col,
  },
  search = {
    mode = 'search',
    max_length = 0,
    forward = false,
    wrap = false,
    multi_window = false,
  },
  pattern = '^',
  label = {
    before = { 0, col },
  },
  highlight = {
    matches = false,
  },
})
