In plain words

Show HN JetMove is a plugin for JetBrains IDEs that enhances navigation and cursor handling capabilities. It provides extra navigation features and multiple caret improvements to streamline code editing workflows. The tool is designed for developers using JetBrains' integrated development environments who want expanded navigation options and improved multi-cursor functionality. The plugin was shared as a GitHub Gist, making it accessible for developers interested in extending their IDE's default capabilities.

From the sources

Jetmove is a script I wrote to myself for some navigation and multiple carets features I felt were missing in Jetbrains IDEs. It uses the excellent Live Plugin to run the script in the IDE. All features support multiple carets, and are designed to work with them. This feature allows you to select text up to a character, either forwards or backwards, similar to the f and F commands in Vim. Press alt X to select forwards, and alt shift X to select backwards, and then type the character you want to select up to. If you have a single caret, the selection will be until the end of the file (unlike Vim). If you have multiple carets, the selection will be until the end of the line for each caret.…from gist.github.com

  • Sweep, Open-weights 1.5B model for next-edit autocompleteJan 2026 · huggingface.co · ▲534

    Hey HN, we trained and open-sourced a 1.5B model that predicts your next edits, similar to Cursor. You can download the weights here (https://huggingface.co/sweepai/sweep-next-edit-1.5b) or try it in our JetBrains plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/26860-sweep-ai-autocomp...). Next-edit autocomplete differs from standard autocomplete by using your recent edits as context when predicting completions. The model is small enough to run locally while outperforming models 4x its size on both speed and accuracy. We tested against Mercury…

    Hi HN, we’re building Haystack Editor (https://haystackeditor.com/), a canvas-based IDE that automates the boring stuff (plumbing, refactoring, and finding code) so that you can focus on the exciting parts of software development! You can see a quick overview of Haystack at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2uZnR5D_cc! (It's currently only on Mac OS but we're working on Linux and Windows. Edit: just added a Linux download!) Haystack was born out of our frustrations with working in large and mature codebases, specifically with navigating and editing functional…
