Dumb Jump is an Emacs package providing 'jump to definition' and 'find references' navigation for 60+ programming languages. It works with zero configuration by using ag, ripgrep, or grep with regex-based heuristics instead of stored indexes or background processes.
Use cases
- jump to function definition in emacs
- find references of a symbol in emacs
- code navigation without language server
- go to definition for 60+ languages
- emacs package to navigate code like an IDE
- definition lookup without TAGS files
When to choose
- you want zero-configuration jump-to-definition in Emacs
- your language has no working LSP server
- you want to avoid TAGS indexes and background processes
- you use Spacemacs or vanilla Emacs and need quick code navigation
When to avoid
- you already run a language server (lsp-mode/eglot) with accurate semantic navigation
- you need precise, compiler-grade definition resolution
- your project is very large and you only have grep available (slow)
- you use an editor other than Emacs
