EditorJumper-V

🔍 Introduction

EditorJumper-V is a VS Code-compatible extension that allows you to seamlessly jump between modern code editors (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Void, Kiro, Qoder, etc.) and JetBrains IDEs (such as IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, etc.). It maintains your cursor position and editing context, greatly improving development efficiency in multi-editor environments.

🌟 Features

• 🚀 Seamless Editor Switching

  • Quickly jump from VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Void, Kiro, Qoder to JetBrains IDEs
  • Automatically positions to the same cursor location (line and column)
  • Perfectly maintains editing context without interrupting workflow

• 🎯 Smart Jump Behavior

  • With file open: Opens the same project and file in the target IDE, preserving cursor position
  • Without file open: Opens the project directly in the target IDE

• ⚡ Multiple Trigger Methods

  • Right-click in editor - select "Open in JetBrains IDE"
  • Right-click in file explorer - select "Open in JetBrains IDE"
  • Standard mode jump - Shift+Alt+O (default keyboard shortcut)
  • Fast mode jump (Mac) - Shift+Alt+P (optimized for speed, especially on macOS)

• 🎚️ Easy Target IDE Selection

  • Status bar widget - click the IDE icon to select which JetBrains IDE to jump to

💻 System Requirements

• VS Code 1.81.0 or higher, or other supported editors (Cursor, Windsurf, Void, Kiro, Qoder)
• Installed JetBrains IDE (IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, etc.)

• Use JetBrains Toolbox to manage IDEs, which automatically creates command-line tools
• Or create command-line launcher in IDE via Tools → Create Command-line Launcher
